有個朋友，在一次烤肉聚會當中絆倒了，摔了一跤，

旁邊的朋友建議找醫護人員，

但她很確定自己沒事，只是穿了新鞋被磚塊絆了一下罷了。

朋友們幫她清洗乾淨，又為她盛了一盤食物，

腦神經外科醫師說，
A neurosurgeon says :
   
如果他能在三小時之內接觸到中風患者，

並讓病患在三小時之內接受醫療，
2 b5 r$ T! k& e. i2 k' RAnd let the patient have treatment within 3 hours after a stroke.

身邊的人辨認不出中風的徵兆，

中風患者就會嚴重腦傷。

醫生說，旁人只要問三個簡單的問題，
A doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,
   
就可以辨識中風：
It is possible to diagnose a stroke.
   
S ： (smile) 要求患者笑一下
1 v  S* r# f' }Ask the patient to smile
  y; r/ z' e- l. e* C; r   
T ： (talk) 要求患者說一句簡單的句子 (要有條理，有連貫性)，例如：今天天氣晴朗。
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and consecutive)
，e..g. The weather is sunny today.
0 I2 z- ]% W) P1 a6 u   
R ： (raise) 要求 患者舉起雙手
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time
1 B8 @- H7 `; x+ Y* g   
1 ]) b+ V& c. e7 m% R注意 Note：
另外一項中風癥兆是： 要求患者伸出舌頭 ，如果舌頭「彎曲」或偏向一邊，那也是中風的徵兆
One more diagnose method of stroke is : Tell the patient to extrude his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that is also a symptom of stroke.

上面四個動作，患者如果有任何一個動作做不來，就要立刻打 999 ！！！並! 且把症狀描述給接線者聽。
Above are 4 steps.  In case a patient can't do either one of such gestures, you should dial 999 !!!

好像中风和head trauma有本质的区别，但是无论如何，脑袋出问题，可不是小问题
