Join us in observing World Stroke Day today, October 29. Remember, every 40 seconds someone in the U.S experiences a stroke, but we can all be better prepared by understanding what to look for. Using the acronym F.A.S.T, we can swiftly recognize the signs: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty and realizing it's Time to call 911. Let's share the knowledge and beat the statistics. Awareness saves lives! 💪💖🌐 #WorldStrokeDay #FAST

🎃 Carving a pumpkin this Halloween? Keep the spooks in the stories, not in your carving session! Follow these safety tips for a festive experience: 1️⃣ Choose a clean, dry, well-lit spot - slippery surfaces can lead to accidents. 2️⃣ Safety in numbers - make sure an adult is overseeing the carving or even better, let them do it. 3️⃣ Sharp knives aren't always best. They can get stuck and cause injuries when they free. 4️⃣ Use a pumpkin carving kit. They're safer and unlikely to cause severe wounds. 5️⃣ If there's an injury, apply pressure with a clean cloth. Seek emergency assistance if bleeding doesn't stop within 15 minutes. Remember, our Emergency Department has your back 24/7 if you need us! Here's to a safe, fun-filled Halloween! 🎃🍁👻 Congratulations Cath Lab for most creative pumpkin!
