Stroke man

The department of health have launched a new campaign to raise awareness of the signs of stroke and prompt people to call 999 immediately if they see any single one of these signs. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the UK and the most common cause of adult disability. However, if signs are recognised and action taken quickly lives can be saved and the damage reduced.

Thanks to this advert being on tv, it has saved my husbands life. We were able to spot the signs of a stroke and dialled 999. Thank you.

This advert is scarily well made.

My father had a stroke in front of my eyes in 1997. I've seen this advert happen for real. I can assure you it does look like this. It changed his life forever. It also changed my whole family's lives too.

Anyone saying this is scary - I promise you it disturbs people in my position more than it does someone who hasn't seen it happen- but I would never want these removed.

These adverts will save people's lives.

Aside from the serious stuff, I didn't realise Martin Brundle was such a good actor

It is put there for visual purposes, in that a stoke like a fire will spread untill action is taken.

It is to educate the stupid and the immature that you must take action if you see these signs, and to make awareness of it more national.

An advert like this will save the lives of many people in the UK/world, and it is executed in a way to make people pay attention to it.

A credit to the producers and the voice over.

@WillC3PO you're talking about yourself, failed moron

[KatAStrophic418]

How the hell is that funny? WTF is wrong with you? You obviously are a loser. You think it's funny to see someone you love not themselves, not able to feed themselves, go to the bathroom on their own, not recognize their wife, or have memory loss and think they're 20 years old when they're really almost 60? I don't think you are funny I think you are plain stupid for making a joke about something so serious...what a scumbag!
