Sometime in your life you will or already have had to make a decision whether or not a person is having a stroke. Stroke symptoms are difficult to identify. The American Stroke Association and doctors say that a bystander can recognize a stroke victim by asking three simple questions.
1. Ask the individual to smile.
2. Ask him or her to raise both arms.
3. Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If she or he has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
You may save a person from brain damage or you may save a life.
Please pass this information on.
Thanks
