I Saw How people Rescue A Stroke Patient

Lots of stroke patient suffer by paralysed and later died from the result of Stroke. It's because of wrongly rescue carry out to the patient when stroke happen.This was a true experience that happen in front of me, i share out to everyone,i joined rescue team for almost 10 years and i never seen a thing like this before.

In my hometown, got a lot of food store called " MAMAK" * ps: A food store business running by Indians and open 24hours a day *, few days ago, when i having tea with my team mate at mamak store,suddenly, a man in front table of us felt down to the floor, his voice was slurred, mouth was crooked, immediately I realized, is a symptoms of stroke.

Few of his friends wanted to take him to hospital, they wanted to move him to a car in the hurry, but we knew, by doing so, he will be killed . WHY?...according to our experiences, movement will cause stroke patient's brain capillaries burst. (ps: capillaries=tiny blood tube).

< PLEASE DON'T MOVE A STROKE PATIENT >

It was an emergency plus without any equipment in hand, we were stuck and don't know what to do at the time, although we are not panic. Suddenly, a grandma appeared...

She asked us to carefully sit up the man and prevent him to felt down again. She took out a needle from her bag, use a lighter sterilized it, then she used the needle to prick every fingernail of the man about 3-4 mm deep < All 10 fingernails !!! >, a little blood drop came out from every pricked fingernail, then she squeezed all the fingernails to let more blood drops came out, afterthat, she started to pull on the man's ears. Until both side of ears became very red, she pricked both side earlobe twice to let few drops of blood come out.

We don't really know why she wanted to do so, but after few minutes, the man regain consciousness, it was amazing, a few minutes later, the man mouth shape returned to normal and his speech became clear. We let him rest awhile, the grandma feed him some hot tea, then he was bring to hospital when ambulance came.

Few days later, just 3 hours before i completed this hub, i met the man again at the mamak store, he seen everything fine. It was really amazing. This method was effective.

Remember :

The usual stroke victim usually suffers Irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover.Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive but can remain paralysed for life.

Now, let me clarify each step again, If your countries' law allow you to do so:

Do not move the stroked patient, just slowly make him sit up and prevent to fall down again

1. Find a needle and sterilize it with fire. * to avoid side effect *
2. Prick the patient's ALL 10 fingernail about 3-4mm deep until blood drops come out.
3. Squeeze all the pricked fingernails to let more blood drops come out.
4. Normally at this stage, patient's mouth will still crooked, so continue to next step.
5. Pull patient's ears ( both side ) repeat until become very red, then, prick both side earlobe twice to let blood drops come out.
6. At this stage, patient will regain consciousness, let patient rest awhile, make sure everything back to normal only bring patient to hospital.

I think this is an amazing and simple first aid that we all should remember, you never know one day you might save a stroke patient's life. Please forward this hub to everybody after reading, you can make the different. Happy Reading.... :)
