STROKE
IDENTIFICATION:<br>
<br>
During a BBQ,
a friend
stumbled and
took a little
fall - she
assured
everyone that
she was fine
(they offered
to call
paramedics)
.she said she
had just
tripped over a
brick because
of her new
shoes.<br>
<br>
They got her
cleaned up and
got her a new
plate of food.
While she
appeared a bit
shaken up,
Ingrid went
about enjoying
herself the
rest of the
evening<br>
<br>
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,
hopeless
condition
instead.<br>
<br>
It only takes
a minute to
read this...<br>
<br>
A neurologist
says that if
he can get to
a stroke
victim within
3 hours he can
totally
reverse the
effects of a
stroke...<u>totally</u>.
He said the
trick was
getting a
stroke
recognized,
diagnosed, and
then getting
the patient
medically
cared for
within 3
hours, which
is tough.<br>

RECOGNIZING A
STROKE<br>

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.</font></b></div>

New Sign of
a Stroke
--------
Stick <b>O*UT</b> Your
Tongue</font><font
color="black"

<br>
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</font><font
color="black"
face="Verdana"

color="black"

is also an
indication of
a stroke.<br>
