on the contrary. I was just reminded of this topic and that it can happen to anybody and at any age and it could happen during a meet...
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. |

glad you mentioned that because in 1980 my sister was at my grans house.
the next day my gran was taken to hospital after having a stroke and died soon afterwards.
i was only 18 and didnt realy understand at the time. my sister couldnt stop crying because she said my gran had gone funny and she wished she had stayed with her, but she didnt realise what was wrong with her.
so many things you hear about now and think, if only i knew that at the time.  |

In London, over the last couple of years CVA'S are being treated faster and patients are getting better care due to the introduction of HASU (hyper actute stroke units). They are specialist departments in particular hospitals around London, I think there are 7 within the m25 and provide thrombolitic treatment to stroke patients meeting specific criteria. It's a ggreat system and more people are surviving them. I'm not familiar with systems outside of London, anyone know if there's some in other cities? |

all work and no play..."
We should have a new thread, debating the work, pay, holiday conditions should be for a full-time and a part-time swinger. Furthermore, we should look at how it would fit in with EU regulations (Wishy, where are you?  ??

Wouldn't surprise me! The pct is in quite a bit of debt from what I hear, that does have a hasu. Maybe they would keep the it open, it would be good if they did but who knows! The next nearest stroke unit to there would be kings college. Miles away!
Sorry to hijack your thread Aphrodite! I can at least say it's still on subject (ish!) X |

"Very useful, especially as the adverts seem to have stopped.
TIAs may be very subtle so if you feel that you have experienced something like this do go and get checked."
And the symptoms resolve quickly so even if you feel better, still go get checked! |

Glad to see this as its close to my heart. My gran had 3 strokes before they claimed her 17yrs ago. Was agonising watching her deteriorate.
My grandad had a stroke a couple of months ago and I'm sure because of all the recent awareness it was recognised much quicker |
