Subject: Fwd: Blood Clots/Stroke -They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

This is very important, you could save a life. PLEASE READ
INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW........................Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.
STROKE:Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
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 rec og nized, 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!
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 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 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.

I have done my part. Have you?
