**A Life-Saving Lesson That,We All Need to Know**


 

Last week, I heard a story that stopped me in my tracks. At a community event, a woman tripped and fell. She brushed it off, laughing, *“Don’t worry—just caught my new shoe on the tiles!”* Though she seemed shaky, she insisted she was fine. She stayed through the evening, even helping clean up. 

The next day, her husband called. She’d been rushed to the hospital. By sunset, she was gone. 

What happened? She’d suffered a **stroke** during the event. No one recognized the signs. 

This isn’t about fear—it’s about *awareness*. Strokes can strike anyone, anytime. But with simple knowledge, we can save lives.

### **3 Critical Steps to Spot a Stroke (S.T.R.)** 
Experts say acting within **3 hours** can mean full recovery. Here’s how to act fast: 

1️⃣ **S = SMILE** 
Ask them to smile. Does one side droop? 

2️⃣ **T = TALK** 
Have them repeat a simple phrase like *“Today is sunny.”* Slurred or strange speech? Take note. 

3️⃣ **R = RAISE** 
Ask them to lift both arms. Does one drift downward? 

**❗ If ANY of these happen, call an ambulance immediately.** 

---

### **One More Test: The Tongue Check** 
Ask them to stick out their tongue. If it’s crooked or leans to one side, it’s another red flag. 

---

### **Why Share This?** 
Strokes don’t announce themselves. They disguise as clumsiness, fatigue, or “just feeling off.” But *you* could be the difference between life and loss. 

**Your mission (if you choose):** 
Forward this to *one person* you care about. Tag a friend, share in a group chat, or post it. Let’s turn knowledge into action—because no one should lose a loved one to something we can all learn to spot.

The Man Who Invented The "Psychopath"?

The Man Who Invented the “Psychopath”? Hervey Cleckley, an influential psychiatrist, is often credited with shaping modern understandings of psychopathy, even though his original intent was to help rather than stigmatize those affected. His 1941 work, The Mask of Sanity, was pivotal, as it introduced the concept of the psychopath as a specific personality type with 16 distinct traits. Cleckley described individuals who seemed outwardly rational but exhibited shallow emotions, lacked empathy, and engaged in destructive behaviors, though often without malice. Cleckley’s perspective was initially sympathetic; he saw these individuals as “forgotten” by psychiatry—people who needed understanding and treatment. However, as psychopathy entered the public lexicon, the term was quickly associated with malice, violence, and even inhumanity. Cleckley’s nuanced portrait of the psychopath was adapted by later researchers like Robert Hare, who created the widely used Psychopathy Checklist, a t...
