STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.....(記住前面3個字母)

S. T. R.

 STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

 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.        叫病人 笑

 T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. Chicken Soup)      叫病人說一句話， 如 雞湯、早安或天氣很好。

 R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 叫病人高舉雙臂

 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! 叫病人「伸出你的舌頭」

 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.

如果以上任一動作做不好，馬上叫救護車送醫院急症。
