Stroke 中風

A friend once fell down suddenly in a BBQ party.
People around suggested her go to the hospital, But she reassured that nothing's wrong with herself, except having fallen down due stepping on a piece of brick in a pair of new shoes.
While she was still shivering, not standing firm, Friends helped her clean up her body, and got a plate of food for her, So afterwards, she happily enjoyed the rest of time with the company.
Later on, her husband called to tell these friends, She has been sent to the hospital at last, and she passed away at 6 PM only,

Which cause was a stroke to her during the BBQ party.
If they know how to identify the symptoms of a stroke, She might still be staying with us ......
Some people do not die, However the result is in even helpless and disparate condition.
It only takes one minute to read this article.

A neurosurgeon says :
If he can reach a patient in 3 hours after a stroke attack, He can alter the stroke consequences completely. The trick is how to diagnose a stroke, And let the patient have treatment within 3 hours after a stroke. But this is very difficult.

To diagnose a stroke
Thank god for allowing us to remember 3 simple steps : STR
Please read and learn ! Sometimes it's not easy to identify a stroke,
Yet unfortunately, it will bring disaster without proper alert.
If people around a stroke patient are not able to tell a stroke, The stroke patient will suffer from serious brain injury.

A doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,
It is possible to diagnose a stroke.
S : (smile)
Ask the patient to smile

T : (talk)
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and consecutive),e.g. The weather is sunny today.

R : (raise)
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time

One more diagnose method of stroke is : Tell the patient to extrude his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that is also a symptom of stroke.

Above are 4 steps. In case a patient can't do either one of such
gestures, you should dial 999 !!!


有個朋友,在一次烤肉聚會當中絆倒了,摔了一跤,

旁邊的朋友建議找醫護人員,但她很確定自己沒事, 只是穿了新鞋被磚塊絆了一下罷了。
她還有點危危顫顫站立不穩的時候,朋友們幫她清洗乾淨, 又為她盛了一盤食物,
她就跟著大家一起享受接下來的時光了。
她的先生後來打電話通知大家,她被送到醫院,傍晚六點,就過世了,

原因是她在烤肉聚餐的時候中風。
如果他們懂得辨識中風的癥兆,她現在也許還跟我們在一起。
有些人不會死,但結局處於無助無望的景況中。只需要花一分鐘的時間讀完這篇文章,

腦神經外科醫師說,
如果他能在三小時之內接觸到中風患者,他就可以將中風的後果完全扭轉過來。
訣竅就是辨識診斷出中風的問題,並讓病患在三小時之內接受醫療,
而這是很難的。

辨識中風
感謝上帝讓我們記住 STR 三步驟,
請閱讀並學習 !
有時候中風的癥兆很難辨認,不幸的是,缺乏警覺就會帶來災難。
身邊的人辨認不出中風的徵兆,中風患者就會嚴重腦傷。

醫生說,旁人只要問三個簡單的問題,
就可以辨識中風:
要求患者笑一下
要求患者說一句簡單的句子 (要有條理,有連貫性),例如:今天天氣晴朗。
要求 患者舉起雙手
注意 Note:另外一項中風癥兆是: 要求患者伸出舌頭,如果舌頭「彎曲」或偏向一
邊,那也是中風的徵兆

上面四個動作,患者如果有任何一個動作做不來,就要立刻打 999 !!!並且把症狀描述給接線者聽。

Eye Test

Doing an Eye test is simple ...
I tried below and see how this works for you.
Stand at about 1 metre away from your screen showing this page, and tell yourself if you can see all these characters correctly?

E e A a M m B b z Z
E e A a M m B b z Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

If you cannot see the smallest one, you could be tired.
But if you cannot see the character second pair small characters, you probably need to see the optician for a check.

Keep you eye healthy !!!
