Stroke strikes FAST and so must you! Time is Brain. Call 9-1-1 immediately if a person has signs of stroke:
F—is face drooping—ask person to smile at you.
A- Tell person to wave both arms at you
S- Ask person to repeat a simple sentence back to you.
T- Time is Brain. Call 9-1-1 without delay.
STROKE IS THIRD LEADING KILLER IN U.S. Don’t call your family, your doctor’s office, dial 9-1-1. EMS will evaluate and take necessary actions to protect life.
Stroke Strikes Fast-and so must you!
Posted by: | DateI had a wonderful morning learning about stroke awareness in the community. MUSC sponsored the event for persons in the community who are already involved in educating on health matters through civic and/or faith-based initiatives. There new mantra is “Stroke Strikes Fast—and so must you! Call 911″. Children are taught to call 911 in emergencies and an EMS captain said children come home from school and see a problem with a parent or grandparent and they don’t hesitate to call 911. More often than not, adults reason away the need to call for help. Have you ever called for help for someone having a stroke? Tell us about it.
