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.
