B.E.F.A.S.T. Be a Superhero! This engaging children's book teaches children how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke using the BEFAST method (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, and Time). Now sold at Lynchburg General Hospital's gift shop! This book is designed to give kids the knowledge they need to act quickly, since children are likely to witness a parent or a grandparent suffering from the symptoms of a stroke. The incidence of stroke has increased in younger patients aged 18 – 44 and 45-64 and many children are being cared for by their grandparents. Their ability to spot the symptoms of stroke and act quickly could be the difference between life and death for their parent or grandparent. This book was written by Dr. Rajiv Narula, founder and CEO of Sevaro Health, a teleneurology company focused on improving access to neurological care, and his 5-year-old son, Ayan Narula. (fb)
