i think it is super important to be able to ID stroke symptoms.
just saying.
i wont air my family laundry, but i am damn happy i paid attention in my mandatory first aide class (for work).
just wanted to put this out there as a public service announcement.
STROKE: remember the acronym F.A.S.T.
F: Face. ask the person to smile..does the face behave the same on both sides?
A: ARMS. weakness or numbness on one side?
S: Speech. slurred speech..or drunken speech.
T: TIME! get on the phone and CALL 911.. that hesitation where you dont want to make a emergency call and get it wrong where the person is not having an emergency? forget it..call? apologize later, if you pulled some hair trigger and did a false alarm..
our parents are getting older..we are getting older..etc.
jus sayin.
