Stroke adverts

[jaysay]

Anybody seen the stroke adverts on TV, as in showing the early signs to look for, quite informative and worthwhile in my opinion

I was thinking that when I saw it last night. Its quite informative and helpful really, I doubt I would have been able to identify the tell tale signs if I hadnt had seen it

Yes I too noticed how good the advert was

Also another I saw last night with the boy crumpled on the floor everywhere that man looked

I was almost in tears!
Such a dramatic advert

 

[emamum]

oh yeah, thats the speeding advert, i dont like them!

 

[emzy]

They can be a bit harsh but its whats needed to make some people take notice sometimes

Yeah definitely... as I said I was almost in tears.. and I don't even drive.. so the chances of me ever doing that to a child are slim to none

Just seen the advert on the website...it's brought back bad memorys, my brother had 3 strokes the third one killed him, he was only 34

I was very busy when it came on tonight but I stopped everything to watch it.
Point taken.

Sorry to hear that Panther, I do think the ad is informative for people who have never witnessed a stroke, the special effects are tremendous, I would think there is a lot of work gone into those, the speeding motorist one is worthwhile too, anything that saves lives has to be good.
