Stroke Detector - Stick our your tongue!
November 1st, 2009 by admin
Blood Clots/Stroke - There is now a fourth Indicator, the Tongue.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke because symptoms of a stroke can difficult to identify. Here’s how a bystander can get a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and begin to get a stroke victim medically cared for within 3 hours.
1.Ask the person to SMILE.
2.Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)(e.g., It is sunny out today.)
3.Ask the person to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
4.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.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, or has a crooked tongue call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. So Remember the above four steps - S. T. R. T.
