Sent to us by a friend, we can not verify
accuracy, authenticity or who wrote it but sounds authentic so we pass it on
as IMPORTANT to read
My friend sent this and encouraged me to post and publish it to
spread the word. I agreed.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save a lot of
folks. If your loved ones and friends have this information, it may be
you..... Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured
everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and 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,
Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid*s
husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to
the hospital - (at 6:00pm , 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.
True, Some don't die. They end
up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. Often a vegetable the
rest of their life.
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 getting a
stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient
medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR.
Read and Learn!
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.
An informed YOU can be the
difference.
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 to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (I.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another *sign* of a stroke is this: Ask the person to
*stick* out their tongue. If the tongue is *crooked*, if it goes to one
side or the other
that is also an indication of a stroke.
If he or she has
trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, Call 911 immediately
!! and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
A cardiologist is quoted as saying if everyone who gets this
information sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life
will be saved.
Why Not Print This Out
Post It At Work, At Home and Anywhere You
think it may make a difference.
Editors Note Remember, a diabetic has 4
times the chances of having a stroke, as a
non-diabetic.
To whoever put this together, we are sorry we can not credit you because
we do not have the information, but do think this sounds like a very
important message, and tests, our readers should know
about.....immediately, thank you.
Since this came from an unknown source and theire are so many wild
invalid "warning" emails sent around we all get suckered into every now
and then, we decided to check this out at a Hoax site. We went to
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/identify-stroke.htm and here is what they said, in part about this apparently well known email being sent around.
Commentary:
The procedure for identifying a stroke that is getting released in this
email forward is valid.
According to information available
on the American Stroke Association's website, the three questions
outlined in the email are a medically viable method for a layperson to
ascertain if a person is presenting with stroke symptoms.
The procedure was originally outlined in a report to the American Stroke
Association's 28th International Stroke Conference.
The report states that a bystander may be able to spot someone having a
stroke by giving the person a simple, quick test to see if they can
smile, raise both arms and keep them up, and speak a simple sentence
coherently.
Certainly, the core information in the email is worth heeding.
Knowing how to conduct this simple test could indeed save a person's
life. The aforementioned report explains that if bystanders can relay
results of this test to an emergency dispatcher, it could speed
treatment to stroke patients. Time is crucial in treating stroke.
America's National Stroke Association lists the following as common
symptoms of stroke:
Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg, especially on
one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness,loss of balance or coordination
Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Given this list of symptoms, it is easy to see how the simple
three-question test could help identify a stroke.
However, there is an important point that needs to be considered.
While the central information in the email is true, the absence of these
symptoms does not necessarily indicate that a person is NOT having a
stroke.
It could be extremely dangerous to reach the
conclusion that a person did not require medical attention just because
he or she could successfully carry out the three steps outlined in the
test.
Editors Note: This means that the test can be helpful in
diagnosis, of a stroke and the immediate need for treatment, However,
complying with the test does not prove that the person has NOT had a
stroke and you need to proceed as if they had, until proven
differently by additional actions and means.
