Tongue as Indicator

INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

 STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
 
 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 ONE of these tasks, call emergency number 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.

 A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
