Recognizing a stroke:

[Jalaato]

This might be a lifesaver if we can remember the three

questions! It was sent to me by a nurse, whose

husband is a medical doctor.

 

I had never heard this advice before and hadn't a clue.

Perhaps you hadn't either and would like to file it away

in the back of your head.

 

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.

Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The

stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people

nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now

doctors say any bystander can recognize a stroke asking

three simple questions:

 

* ask the individual to smile.

* ask him or her to raise both arms.

* ask the person to speak a simple sentence.

 

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1

immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

 

After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers

could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech

problems, researchers urged the general public to learn

the three questions. They presented their conclusions at

the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last

February. Widespread use of this test could result in

prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and

prevent brain damage."
