#stroke

A stroke is a medical emergency and delaying treatment can have serious consequences. 🧠
According to @Alberta Health Services, even a 25-minute delay in treatment can leave someone with severe disability or even result in death. ⏳
Do you know the signs of a stroke? FAST is a simple way to remember the main symptoms and know when to call for medical help. FAST stands for:
😐 Face: is it drooping?
🙌🏻 Arms: can you raise both?
👄 Speech: is it slurred or jumbled?
⏰ Time: Call 911 immediately.
