3 steps to recognize a stroke
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke 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 (Coherently) (i.e... It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call paramedics immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
