     Remember to ALWAYS act F.A.S.T!!!

F- Face (Ask the Person to SMILE )

A- Arms (Ask the Person to raise both arms, does one arm drift downward?)

S- Speech ( Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred? Did he/she repeated it correctly?)

T- Time ( If the person shows any of these symptom then TIME IS IMPORTANT!)

     You should call 911 or bring the person to the hospital immediately.
