F.A.S.T. Stroke Detection

 

 

Heart attacks are noisy, vicious things, but strokes are sneaky. Memorize the National Stroke Association's detection method, FAST.  Also, familiarize yourself with the warning symptoms of stroke:

  • SUDDEN numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg - especially on one side of the body.
  • SUDDEN confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
  • SUDDEN trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
  • SUDDEN trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
  • SUDDEN severe headache with no known cause.

Dedicated to Patrice O'Neal, who passed away today after complications from a stroke.

School bus memories.

 

Girls who read The Babysitter's Club are too smart for that joke.

Doorbustin' riots

 

 

This would make way more sense than folks getting pepper-sprayed and shot over TVs and kitchen appliances.
