Would Pride Stop You Saving a Stroke Victim?

Would Pride Stop You Saving a Stroke Victim?

Bill’s wife Jane, normally a fit and active lady, rose from her chair to walk into the kitchen, on the way she felt dizzy and fell to the floor. Bill rushed over to help her, through slurred speech she said she could’nt move her legs. Was Jane having a Stroke? What would you do? What did Bill think at the time? 

For the third time in a few months I’ve listened to people who were in a similar situation say they were worried it was a stroke, but they would feel stupid if they called out emergency assistance and it wasn’t. They waited a while to see if their friend or partner got worse before lifting the phone. That pride could stop you saving a stroke victim’s life!

You have seconds to help prevent someone dying of a stroke. A stroke is a very serious injury to the brain and getting medical help quickly is paramount to the stroke victim’s recovery. 

Don’t hesitate to call for medical help if you see any of these signs:

• Sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg
• Their face eye or mouth may droop on one side
• The person is sruggling with their speech
• They may have difficulty understanding others
• Do they feel dizzy or look and sound confused
• Tiredness and loss of coordination are also signs

If diagnosis turns out to be something less life threatening that’s great news. But just think how you would feel if you didn’t act quickly and it had been a stroke or heart attack and your loved one died?  Jane was one of the lucky ones!
