Stroke has a new indicator

文章摘要：我收到一位朋友转发的信件，大概讲的就是一位女士在聚会时不小心摔了一跤，她告诉大家她没有事。结果回家后不久她老公就打电话告诉她聚会时的朋友他的太太回来后就被送去了医院，并在当天晚上抢救无效而死亡，医生说她是因为中风并错过最佳的抢救时间。
一位心脏病专家说，当你怀疑有人中风时，如果你懂得用如下几个办法判断此人是否中风，并告诉更多的人，就会有很多人得救。

1. 叫这个人微笑。
2. 叫这个人说一句完整的话。
3. 叫这个人举起双手。
4. 叫这个人伸出舌头。
如果这个人不能完成其中任何一项，你都应该及时呼叫救护车，并在电话里告诉对方患者的症状。

Hi Friends & Family -- here's some info that is good to know, and pass it on 

Stroke has a new indicator

They say if you email this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along?Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.....
S. T. R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:


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 - (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. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

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 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. 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 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. Will you?
