    Mo, this was in my emails last night

    Blood Clots/Stroke -
    They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, The Tongue.




    STROKE:     Remember The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

    Please read:

    STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

    A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

    RECOGNIZING A STROKE

    Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

    Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe 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:

    S *     Ask the individual to SMILE.

    T *     Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
    (i.e. It is sunny out today)

    R *     Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

    If he or she has trouble with ANY ON E of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

    New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

    NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: 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.

      Good information , I worked on a stroke unit for 2 years in the hospital , what MDs recommended you do 1st if you see signs of a stroke is give OTC baby aspirin 81 mg then call ambulance or vice versa but call that ambulance! the 1st 3 hours are crucial , if you dont have a baby aspirin give any aspirin .

      Blood clots are treated with blood thinners , they then put them on anticoagulants , heparin or lovenox , plavix P.O as therapy .

      "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
