Stroke - How to know if it just happenedtake a second to sign up for my monthly SpiritZine. 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 telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital and at 6:00 pm Jane passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of the 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... Remember the 3 steps, S-T-R. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, that difficulty can spell disaster. The victim may suffer severe brain damage as people nearby fail to recognize what just happened. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by observing the responses to three simple requests:
(e.g. It is sunny out today.) If there is any difficulty with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. Another indicator 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 indicator of a stroke.
