Stroke has a new indicator

​Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator - the Tongue​

🍃 ​Senario :- During a BBQ, a woman 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.​

​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 to say 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.​

🍃 ​A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can 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​

🍃 ​Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.​

​Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.​

​When people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke, the stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage . Some don't die; instead they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition.​

​Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions​ ​(Remember the First Three Letters of​ 🍃 ​STROKE​ 🍃
🍃 ​S. T. R. ):​

✅ S ​Ask the individual to SMILE.​

✅ T  ​Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A *SIMPLE SENTENCE​ ​(Coherently)​
​(e.g. Chicken Soup)​

✅ R ​Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.​

🍃 ​If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.​

🍃 ​New Sign of a Stroke -​

✅ ​Stick out Your Tongue!​

​NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his or her 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.​

✅ Will you send this along? I have done my part. Will you?  😊
