I'm going to second this; Ex-coworker of mine fell off a four
wheeler the four weeks ago, wasn't even moving. Hit his head on the
way down. Got up and shrugged it off. His friends looked at him and
thought he seemed 'funny'. Against his wishes, they called an
ambulance to check him out. Paramedics decided to take him to the
hospital out of caution. Within three hours at the hospital he had
a stroke and had to undergo emergency brain surgery to alleviate the
swelling of his brain. He is now at a rehabilitation center. The
only reason he is alive is because his friends picked up on the
hints below. When it comes to stuff like below, err on the side of
caution.

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>

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
--------

<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

is also an
indication of
a stroke.<br>
