STROKE has a new indicator.

STROKE has a new indicator.
 
They say if you e-mail this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? 
                                                                        
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.

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. I like Chicken Soup)

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.

Send to a friend. It can be life saving.

Complete vs. Finished

Sharing the following email with you:

Complete vs. Finished

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, in a recent linguistic conference held in London , England , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world: Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese, was the clear winner.

His final challenge was this: Some say there is no difference between
COMPLETE and FINISHED. Please explain the difference between COMPLETE
and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand.

Here is his astute answer:

"When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. But, when you marry
the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you
with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"

His answer was received with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes

The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra

The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra
When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara
was coursing in the deep Prajnaparamita,
he perceived that all five skandhas are empty,
thereby transcending all sufferings.
Sariputra, form is not other than emptiness
and emptiness not other than form.
Form is precisely emptiness
and emptiness precisely form.
So also are sensation, perception, volition and consciousness.

Sariputra, this voidness of all dharmas
is not born, not destroyed,
not impure, not pure, does not increase or decrease.

In voidness there is no form,
and no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness;
no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought;
there is no realm of the eye
all the way up to no realm of mental cognition.


There is no ignorance and there is no ending of ignorance
through to no aging and death and no ending of aging and death.

There is no suffering, no cause of suffering,
no cessation of suffering, and no path.

There is no wisdom or any attainment.

With nothing to attain,
Bodhisattvas relying on Prajnaparamita
have no obstructions in their minds.

Having no obstructions, there is no fear
and departing far from confusion and imaginings,
they reach Ultimate Nirvana.

All past, present and future Buddhas,

relying on Prajnaparamita, attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi.
Therefore, know that Prajnaparamita
is the great mantra of power, the great mantra of wisdom,
 the supreme mantra, the unequalled mantra,
which is able to remove all sufferings.


It is real and not false.

Therefore recite the mantra of Prajnaparamita:

Gata, Gata, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha.
