STROKE identification, Remember S.T.R

[Guest jenvid]

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

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 .

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 999/911 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 tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

Ya...listen to the experience man from Batam :afro:

Btw, my dad died of stroke and I learned from him. Never get yourself a hypertension because this is one of the main culprit for stroke. Eat sensibly and exercise......so with all the meetup lunch, birthday dinner, we need a meetup to exercise. I know some meet for golf but not enough la.....so anyone interested in jogging? :devil2:

Yes yes I am here... though abeit late, better never ?

So how u guys on or not for Tuesday ?

I can try to book a court at my company's clubhouse. At Bukit Chermin, just outside Keppel club.

Depending on turnout, you all can join my regular gang. Average 4 to 6 turn up so another 4 kakis will do well. If can commit a regular affair, then i block book another court.

Those interested, pls turn up on Tuesday 7.30pm onwards lor....tonite I will be there too...
