BACALAH, MUNGKIN BERGUNA JUGA BUAT ANDA..... Sewaktu pesta barbeque, seorang teman terjatuh - dia meyakinkan semua orang yg datang kalau dia tidak apa2 (mereka menawarkan memanggil paramedik) dan hanya tersandung batu bata karena sepatu barunya. Mereka membantunya membersihkan diri dan mengambilkan piring makanan baru - meskipun terlihat sedikit terguncang, ingrid meneruskan menikmati sore itu. Malamnya, suami ingrid menelpon memberitahukan semua orang bahwa istrinya telah dibawa ke rumah sakit - (pkl 6 sore, ingrid meninggal). Dia mendapat serangan stroke pada pesta barbeque. Kalau saja mereka tahu bagaimana mengenali tanda2 stroke mungkin ingrid masih bersama kita hari ini. Hanya membutuhkan satu menit untuk membaca ini- Seorang ahli syaraf mengatakan bahwa kalau dia bisa menolong seorang korban stroke dalam waktu 3 jam sejak serangan tersebut, dia bisa membalikkan pengaruh stroke....secara total ! Dia mengatakan bahwa trik-nya adalah mengenali dan mendiagnosa stroke dalam waktu 3 jam sejak serangan, yang sebenarnya merupakan hal yang sulit. MENGENALI STROKE Thanks God atas indera yang dapat mengingat TIGA hal berikut. Baca dan pelajarilah! Kadang2 gejala stroke sulit dikenali. Sayangnya, kurangnya kewaspadaan dapat mendatangkan bencana. Korban stroke dapat menderita kerusakan otak sewaktu orang2 yang ada di sekitarnya pada saat kejadian gagal mengenali gejala2 stroke. Sekarang banyak dokter mengatakan bahwa orang di sekitar korban dapat mengenali gejala stroke dengan menanyakan tiga pertanyaan sederhana ini: 1. Minta orang tersebut untuk TERSENYUM 2. Minta orang tersebut untuk MENGANGKAT KEDUA TANGANNYA 3. Minta orang tersebut untuk MENGUCAPKAN SEBUAH KALIMAT SEDERHANA (yang masuk akal) (contoh: hari ini cerah) Seorang kardiolog berkata kalau setiap orang yang mendapatkan e-mail ini mengirimkannya kembali ke 10 orang, kau bisa bertaruh bahwa setidaknya satu nyawa akan diselamatkan.

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. It only takes a minute to read this- A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed an getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. RECOGNISING A STROKE Thank's God for the sense to remember the THREE steps. Read and Learn! 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 sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 000 (Aust) immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
