They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, It is The Tongue



I will continue to forward this every time it comes around! That's how important this message is.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics).

But 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, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening .

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital; (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless 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 to recognize, diagnose, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough to do.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read, Learn and Remember!

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 your emergency number, immediately, and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

A 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 indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

This is one of the most viscerally hilarious jokes I've ever heard.

Strokes aren't funny, but the original post is one of the funniest things of all time.

Good info, strokes are not funny. It can happen at any age to any one.

The original post was hilarious in spite of that.
