STROKE.....HOW TO SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE


You can Save someone's life ....

STROKE  : Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T..R ...


SMILE                         - Ask the individual to smile
TALK                          -  Ask the person to speak simple sentences
RAISE BOTH ARMS -  Ask the individual to raise both arms

If the individual has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE :

Another 'sign' of a stroke is :


Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
