STROKES ARE THE NUMBER-THREE KILLER
IN THIS COUNTRY, YET MANY PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. THEY DON'T KNOW THAT MORE
OF THE BRAIN CAN BE SAVED IF A STROKE IS DETECTED AND
TREATMENT IS RECEIVED IMMEDIATELY. STROKES BEGIN WHEN A
BLOOD VESSEL IN THE BRAIN BECOMES BLOCKED OR BURSTS. BLOOD FLOW
IS CUT OFF. TISSUE IS STARVED FOR OXYGEN, AND PARTS OF THE BRAIN DIE.
IF NOT TREATED QUICKLY, ABILITIES AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE CAN BE
LOST. YOUR BRAIN IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.
GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE.
