Medical News:
Stroke victims have approximately 3 hours to reverse a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
1. Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. Ask the person to TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
3. Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
Remember S-T-R---first 3 letters of STROKE
