STROKE: Remember The st Three !etters...
S.T.R ..
My friend sent this to me and encouraged
me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If
everyone can remember something this
simple, we could save some folks.
STROKE "#E$T"%"&'T"O$:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she
assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a
brick because of her new shoes. (hey offered to call
ambulance!
hey got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food -
while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about
enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid"s husband
called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to
the hospital - (at #$%%pm , Ingrid passed away.!
&he had suffered a stroke at the party . 'ad
they known how to identify the signs of a
stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us
today.
Some don(t die. They end u) in a hel)less* ho)eless
condition instead. "t only takes a minute to read this...

( neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim
within ) hours he can totally reverse the effects of a
stroke...totally. 'e said the trick was getting a stroke

./0 $ (nother "sign" of a stroke is
1. (sk the person to "stick" out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is "crooked", if it goes to one side or the
