Getting out stroke symptoms messages
I was told when Rod had his stroke that more people die from stroke than heart attacks, yet more is said about the warning signs of heart attacks than strokes. After Rod's stroke I was given a list of signs, he had almost everyone, and he had been seeing his doctor to complain. She had over 10 posters on heart attack symptoms and not one for stroke. I think many GP don't even recognize stroke symptoms. There needs to be some way to make the public more aware of stroke and it's symptoms. It's too bad the American Stroke Association doesn't do more TV commercials. I know it may not help in every case but, I am sure it would help a lot of people. Just my 2 cents worth, with all of our technology why can't we use it for something worth while.
