Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may
suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple
questions:
*Ask the individual to SMILE.
*Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
*Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.
* And give them an aspirin right away.
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1//1-1-9
immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

I think that goes without saying Rae. All pan people in med know this.
Aspirin interferes with clotting mechanism. Prevents clots from forming causing further damage.
