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

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new 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 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...
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 ..... TO SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE ..... BOTH ARMS .

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 000 immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

When a stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is,do not
move him/her. Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst. Help the
victim to sit up where he is to prevent him from falling over again, and
then the bloodletting can begin. If you have in your home an injection
syringe that would be the best, otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight
pin will do.

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to
prick
the tip of all 10 fingers.

2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about a mm from
the
fingernail.

3. Prick till blood comes out.

. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.

5. When all 10 digits is bleeding,wait a few minutes then the victim will
regain consciousness.

6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are
red.

7. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each
ear lobe. After a few minutes the victim

should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regain his normal state without any abnormal symptoms
then take him to the hospital, otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance
in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries
in his brain to burst. If he could save his life,barely managing to walk,
then it is by the grace of his ancestors.

juz sumthing that was circulated ard...hope it's true...
