    I want to recognize a stroke quickly. ⏱️ What does the FAST method include?

    Stroke recognition: FAST explained

    Why speed matters

    Letter Check
    F (face) 🙂 Facial drooping
    A (arms) 🙌 Arm weakness
    S (speech) 🗣️ Slurred or strange
    T (time) ⏰ Call emergency services now
    • Brain needs oxygen fast
    • Early treatment limits damage
    • Time = brain tissue

    Have you ever used FAST in a real situation? 🚑
