Having a stroke is a life or death matter, yet a shocking number of adults do not know how to recognize the symptoms in themselves or others. One study found that 70% of adults who had suffered a TIA or minor stroke misidentified their symptoms and 30% wait for over 24 hours before seeking medical attention.
Since an estimated 2 million brain cells die every minute someone is having a stroke, increasing stroke symptom awareness is a crucial first step in getting patients treated faster and sparing precious brain tissue.
Though stroke is no laughing matter, the following parody video provides a catchy opportunity to educate the general population about stroke symptoms. So spread it around! You never know, it just might help save a life or two one day. And always remember to be F (Face drooping) A (Arm weakness) S (Slurred speech) T (Time to call 911)!
