    Uh, this seems like a great place to list the warning signs of a stroke, with the F.A.S.T. method:

    F = Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?

    A = Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

    S = Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred?

    T = Time to call 911 – Stroke is an emergency. Every minute counts. Call 911 immediately. Note the time when any of the symptoms first appear.
