KNOW IF SOMEONE IS GAVING A STROKE.

This might be a lifesaver if we can remember the three questions!

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 any bystander can recognize a stroke asking three simple questions:

* ask the individual to smile.

* ask him or her to raise both arms.

* ask the person to speak a simple sentence.

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 10111 OR an ambulance IMMEDIATELY
and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. 

After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage."
