recognized the symptoms of her stroke in time. Medical emergencies

happen anywhere and to anyone, regardless of their age.. Strokes

United States. Today you may be happy, enjoying life, feeling good
and having a great day. But, imagine tomorrow waking up and not
being able to swallow or talk. No warning. You cannot ask for help.

will not be heard. No one can hear you. You may even have medical
personnel around you who do nothing or who actually incorrectly
diagnose you and make you worse. You cannot tell them what is
wrong. Precious time starts slipping by. It can happen and it's a
real living nightmare. You are trapped inside your own body unable
to help yourself. No one helps you. Maybe they think you are off,
tired, having a bad day or acting strange. No one gets it that you
are having a medical emergency Every minute this goes by your brain
is dying. Think right now about your brain having an attack and you
cannot cry for help. It's not a heart attack. It's a brain attack
that comes with no warning. Can you imagine this happening to you

of a stroke. Any one of the stroke symptoms is a reason to call
911. Don't rely on others to diagnose what is and what is not a
stroke in progress. Read and memorize this booklet now before it is
too late.
