Description
When Frans experienced a stroke, his wife quickly realized something was wrong and called emergency services without hesitation. Her immediate response helped Frans get the care he needed. Most people experiencing a stroke may not recognize the signs themselves. Often, someone close to them notices first. Frans’ story highlights why knowing the warning signs can help you act when someone you love needs you most.
