You Can Make A Difference

During a BBQ gathering, a friend stumbled and took a little fall. She assured everyone that she was fine. They offered to call paramedics, but she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a fresh plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital. At 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had someone known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would have survived. Some stroke victims don't die, but they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

Neurologists say that if they can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours of the episode they can totally reverse the effects of a stroke ... totally. The trick is to recognize and diagnose the event as a stroke, and then to get the patient medically cared for within 3 hours.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

You can recognize a stroke by asking a suspected victim to perform three tasks:

S - Ask them to SMILE.

T - Ask them to TALK. Have them speak a simple sentence coherently, e.g., “It is a sunny day today.”

R - Ask them to RAISE both of their arms.

If they have trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. Describe the symptoms to the dispatcher and then follow their instructions.

NOTE: Another stroke 'sign': Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If their tongue is 'crooked', i.e., if it hangs to one side or the other, it's an indication of a possible stroke. --

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about very two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!
