What a lovely young man, very well brought up. Not only does he bring flowers, but he knows first aid and saved Mrs. D's life.

Why does this poor woman keep getting injured?

My grandma just had a minor stroke today and I'm so glad me and my cousin caught her off-coordination in time.

An addition to the Arms part of the FAST test, if a person can't raise both arms it could be very distressing for them, something to consider is to ask them to squeeze both of your hands and if you notice a difference between the hands you'll know but they won't - it's another way to discover arm weakness without causing undue stress.

I too suffered a Mini stroke at home in early March of this year and my dad knew what to do. Plus I had my small dogs sleeping next to me. They both barked at my unit door to notify my dad that I was in trouble. The Ambulance service took me to Hospital for a assessment for a stroke. The next few hours the stroke team made me to have a shower before I went into surgery. The doctors who took care of me, they took out the blood clot out & inserted a stent in my right side of my brain via my wrist. After a few hours in recovery then I was transferred to a Rehab Centre for the next few months. I had to relearn how to walk again by using their equipment like the treadmill and the robotic arm. After a few months I was discharged from hospital and sent back home to recover properly. Now I'm back home again with my angel dogs, I cam walk better with alot of practice & determination.

This is really good. But, it really should be tough in all schools.

These videos should have more views, very informative into what steps to take and if a stroke is dealt with quick enough, recovery can be very short.

When a stroke strikes, the damage spreads like a fire in the brain.

For the "T" in the FAST acronym, i'll recommend Telephone instead of Time...

I know this is a simulation but this young guy is so respectful and sweet ❤

I have hemiparesis, so naturally I have weakness on one side. I have poor coordination in my left arm, and I have a slight limp (equinus affecting left side. Leg's pretty tight), as well as poor vision in my left eye (I can see out of it, but it's very blurry and gives me a headache, so once when my right eye became irritated, I decided to just keep both my eyes closed rather than get a bad headache). I also have autism (symptoms point more to Asperger's Syndrome, to be specific) and I was born premature. I was told that during infancy, I had a stroke, and I had an event involving respiratory arrest. Throughout my childhood, I've had motor tics on occasion, but they increased in severity and frequency ever since I learned that my father passed away. I used to have pulmonary issues; I frequently became ill with respiratory-tract infections, and I used to need a nebulizer daily. Thankfully, this has improved, although being around smoke and fumes makes it hard for me to breathe.
I think I might be a hypochondriac, but is it possible that I might have a form of cerebral palsy?

But wtf do we do while waiting an ambulance?

Thanks YouTube for putting an ad before this video!

May I know what should I do for victim after FAST Test? For example, should I lay the victim down and place his legs at the higher place?

[RandomRyan]

You should call an ambulence first, If its an actual stroke the person might die if call the paramedics too late.
