Like, so people don't know. Can you maybe tell them what to do? "Fast response is critical. In bleeding strokes (aneurysms), immediate surgery is the answer. In blockage strokes (ischemia), a drug called TPA can prevent severe brain damage if given within three hours, the sooner the better." This does not help. These are not things that people can do immediately for someone. This article is very unhelpful. ""We need more efforts to educate people."
So, how about doing that?
Stroke
Survey shows 5 in 6 don't know signs of stroke or correct response
Quick quiz. Which of the following are warning signs of a stroke: Sudden confusion, numbness, headache, blurred vision or chest pain? If you answered "all the above," you're wrong .
