Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

I just got this in an email from my sister. I hate forwarding things, but I think this is worth having a look at, even if it is a little... overdone. It's not true that you can always totally reverse the effects. My grandmother was in the hospital and they got to her in minutes, but it was still catastrophic. The steps are still valid, though so take a look.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T. R.  
STROKE   IDENTIFICATION:

During  a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics) .  She said she had 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, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest  of the  evening

Jane's  husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken  to  the hospital -
(at 6:00   pm  Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane 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 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.  

 I  have done   my part. Will you?"

You've got to see this. I hope it gets mass-produced, because I want one so bad. A pen that can be any color you want? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

@EmmyCic They would probably give him a name so American viewers wouldn’t be confused. #drbill

@EmmyCic Also it would be in a style of a documentary, with Dr. Bill explaining to us his feelings. Also no time travel, it’s all in Miami.

@EmmyCic There was a rumour last year of a one-off American movie with Johnny Depp as The Doctor. I wept Emmy, I wept.

@EmmyCic Didn't they try that once before in 1996? I think it was a failed pilot known as "Doctor Who: The Movie".
