STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
This is information that has
been going around in email.
Having two family members
that have suffered from Strokes
I thought I would pass this in-
formation on.
If everyone can remember
something this simple, we could
save some family and friends.
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, woman stumbled
and took a little fall - she as-
sured everyone that she was
fine (they offered to call para-
medics) .she said she had just
tripped over a brick because of
her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got
her a new plate of food. While
she appeared a bit shaken up,
Ingrid went about enjoying her-
self the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later
telling everyone that his wife
had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed
away.) She had suffered a stroke
at the BBQ. Had they known
how to identify the signs of a
stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be
with us today. Some don't die.
they end up in a helpless, hope-
less condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read
this...
A neurologist says that if he can
get to a stroke victim within 3
hours he can totally reverse the
effects of a stroke...totally. He
said the trick was getting a
stroke recognized, diagnosed,
and then getting the patient
medically cared for within 3
hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to re-
member the '3' steps, STR .
Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a
stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of
awareness spells disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people
nearby fail to recognize the
symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander
can recognize a stroke by asking
three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE
BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks, call
emergency numberimmedi-
atelyand describe the symptoms
to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick
out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke
is this: Ask the person to 'stick'
out his tongue.. If the tongue is
'crooked', if it goes to one side
or the other, that is also an indi-
cation of a stroke.

After reviewing the survey, that

hold a Technique Workshop replac-
ing the Beginner Workshop. The
