If you were at the airport, with your three best friends, and one of them stepped..

on a marble, causing another one of your best friends to have a Cerebrovascular Accident, what would be your first move?

Leg it i think.

you cant cause anyone to have a stroke or C.V.A.??????????

Use Aspirin as a blood-thinner and search for the cause of TIA.

I wonder how many guesses this is gonna take.

Sounded like someone knew what they were talking about, dig my weed?

you cant,

you cant what?

i would pick up the marble so that no one else falls over.....

as far as i know there is nothing you can do for a stroke victim....you could give asprin to him to help the blood flow back to the brain....but weather this will really have any effect, i do not know....
but i wouldn't really mess around with that for too long....the sooner they get to a hospital the greater their chances of fully recovering without serious braindamage.

For a Cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke), emergency treatment involves oxygen administration and blood pressure control. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain is indicated to rule out hemorrhage as a cause of neurological deficits. Anticoagulation may be indicated if a hemorrhagic CVA is not suspected.

7 wrong guesses before I gave up the answer.

Your threads are too complex for me to understand.

you cant give someone who has suffered a hemorrhagic stroke a anticoagulant,
thats for an Ischemic stroke....

but if its a hemorrhagic, blood sugar and blood pressure control, adequate oxygen etc etc.....but

you arnt able to tell which one is which untill you get to the hospital....unless the symptoms resolve within an hour, or maximum 24 hours, the diagnosis is transient ischemic attack (TIA), and not a stroke.

lol

so i dont know what the answer would be....lol

In Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, in the Emergency Situations section, if the Medical Emergency is (CVA, stroke) the treatment is For a Cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke), emergency treatment involves oxygen administration and blood pressure control. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain is indicated to rule out hemorrhage as a cause of neurological deficits. Anticoagulation may be indicated if a hemorrhagic CVA is not suspected.

I'm the only one who got it right.

Though, you knew what you were talking about, Az.

lol....i was just thinking maybe i misread the question and just made a dick out of myself........lol

and before (in your other thread) i was saying congrats to you having woken up from your coma....it was kinda out of the blue....

anyway....cheers for getting my brain working a bit :)

silly, you got this forum mixed up with "www.premedforums.com" post it there man. were just stoners

I don't care, I typed it up while the plumber was here.

ok. yeah plumbers are distracting. one time I was posting in a Nazi forum and I accedentally said that I was an african american homosexual and was thinking about converting to judiaism. and I accedentally left my home address. fucking plumbers, you cant think straight when they are around

oh yeah I forgot. speaking of marbles. I was blazing with my cousin and we were playing with marbles. they were really cool. and then i was like "oh shit we gotta go, we have to pick these marbles up man" and he was like "ok, but picking up marbles is boring. so lets do it with our mouths. no using your hands" so we did. but I accedentally swallowed one. it was horrible cuz i had outragous cottonmouth so I had to like run to the sink and get a glass of water cuz it was like just stuck halfway down. but it was cool

what Cerebrovascular is ?

its like the blood system in your brain

its to do with the blood vessels in the brain.....it can get quite complicated

lol sorry too slow.....but yeah blood and brain

i was battling between administering aspirin, and providing any needed oxygen... but then i figured i'd just go out like a stoner and just pick up the fucking marble.

That's another thing I learned today. :stoned: :smokin:

I don't get it, how would one friend stepping on a marble cause another friend to have a stroke? Am I missing something?

It was a coincidence.

THIS POLL IS THE SHIT

pick it up.

I can't believe no one's said this yet.

Call a fucking doctor???

See that's the thing...the doctor's are on strike, sorry, I forgot to mention that.

seriously though dude... you were zooted out of your mind when you conceived this question.

really. lmao

Whatever...I was in the same state as I am now...one can only wonder...if there really is a place called "Zooters".

Ida stepped out for a smoke.

Oooh, a sparkly marble.
