Stroke!
Just heard the demise of my colleague's dad yesterday at the age of 47. Apparently, the fits/stroke came about in the middle of the night. This brought about 2 emails which I received on the subject and I think there's no harm trying the CTA when the need arises. Anyone with medical knowledge would like to enlighten?

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.
This is good info to remember and use.
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend 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, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid 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 999/911 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 ..

中風黃金時間處理...要學~~超重要
患了中風，腦部的微血管，會慢慢的破裂，遇到這種情形，千萬別慌，患者無論在什麼地方(不管是浴室、臥房或客廳），千萬不可搬動他。因為，如果移動，會加速微血管的破裂 。
所以要先原地把患者扶起坐穩止防止再摔倒，這時開始（放血）。
家中如有專為注射用的針，當然最好，如果沒有，就拿縫衣用的銅針，或是大頭針，用火燒一下消毒，就在患者的十個手指頭尖兒 （沒有固定穴道，大約距 離手指甲一分之處）上去刺，要刺出血來 (萬一血不出來，可用手擠），等十個手指 頭都流出血來(每指一 滴)，大約幾分鐘之後，患者就自然清?
如果嘴也歪了，就拉他的耳朵，把耳朵拉紅，在兩耳的耳垂兒的部位，各刺兩針，也各流血兩滴，幾分鐘以後，嘴就恢復原狀了。等患者一切恢復正常感覺沒有異狀時再送醫，就一定可 以轉危為安，否則，若是急著抬上救護車送醫，經一路的顛跛震動恐怕還沒到醫院，他腦部微血管，差不多 已經都破裂了。萬一能夠吉人天相，保全老命，能像孫院長，容得勉強行動，那要靠祖上的陰了。
放血救命法，是住在新竹的中醫師夏伯挺先生告訴我的。且是經自己親身實驗。敢說百分之百有效。
大概是民國六十八年我在台中逢甲學院任教，有天上午，我正在上課，一位老師跑到我的教室上氣不接下氣的說：劉老師快來，主任中風了；我立刻跑到三樓，看到陳幅添主任，氣色不正，語意模，嘴也歪了，很明顯的是中風了。
立即請工讀生到校門外的西藥房，買來一支注射用的針頭，就在陳主任十個手指頭上直刺。等十個手指尖兒都見血了（豆粒似的一滴），大約幾分鐘以後，陳主任的氣色就變過來了，兩眼也有神了，只有嘴還歪著，我就拉搓他的耳朵，使之充血，等把耳朵拉紅就在右耳垂之處，各刺兩針，兩耳垂都流出兩滴血來，奇蹟出現了，大約不到三五分鐘，他的嘴形，恢復正常了，說話也清清楚楚了。讓他靜坐 陣子，喝了一杯熱茶，才扶他下樓，開車送到惠華醫院，打一罐點滴，休息了一 夜，第二天就出院回! 學校上課了。
一切照常工作，毫無後遺症。反觀一般腦中風患者，都是送醫院治療時，經過一路震盪血管急速破裂，以致多數患者一病不起，所腦中風，在死因排行榜上高居第二位，其最幸運者，也僅能保住老命，而落得終身 殘廢。這是一個多麼可怕的病症。如果大家都能記住這（放血救命)的方法，立刻施救，在短短時間它能起死回生，而且保證百分之百的正常。
這個急救法，希望大家告訴大家。那腦中風，在死因排行榜上，就可以除名了。
