Subject: RE: BS: Recognising a Stroke
That is good and accurate advice. First Responders use it as a fast diagnosis if no one knows the patient's history. People who have difficulty with the simple 'test'/instructions are treated as 'Load and Go'. That is, regardless of most other circumstances involved in the situation, they are transported to a hospital real fast.
