I URGE ALL MY FRIENDS TO READ & SHARE THIS; YOU COULD SAVE A LOVED ONES 
LIFE!
BY KNOWING THIS SIMPLE INFORMATION!!!
Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward 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:
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 
911 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.
