STR
Thank god for allowing us to remember 3 simple steps : STR

!
Please read and learn !

Sometimes it's not easy to identify a stroke,

Yet unfortunately, it will bring disaster without proper alert.

If people around a stroke patient are not able to tell a stroke,

The stroke patient will suffer from serious brain injury.

A doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,

It is possible to diagnose a stroke.

S (smile)
Ask the patient to smile

T (talk) ()
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and
consecutive)e.g. The weather is sunny today.

R (raise)
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time

Note

One more diagnose method of stroke is : Tell the patient to extrude


his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that
is also a symptom of stroke.

999 !
Above are 4 steps. In case a patient can't do either one of such
gestures, you should dial 999 !!!

A cardiac surgeon says :

10
Whenever a person forwards this message to 10 other persons,

It can safe save at least one life
