Darr and I were watching House the other night and learned a tool worthy of sharing with all non-House watching folks. There is a mnemonic device to help you remember stroke symptoms - "FAST".
"F" stands for "face" - uneven smile, facial droop or numbness, and vision disturbance
"A" stands for "arm & leg" - weakness, numbness, difficulty walking
"S" stands for "speech" - slurred, inappropriate words, mute
"T" stands for "time" - time is critical, CALL 9-1-1
Commit this to memory. Time saved is brain saved.
