Needling in the ear in stroke patients is said to prevent more severe bleeding in the brain. However, that's the wrong way. If you find a patient who has had a stroke, they should immediately be rushed to the hospital, not stabbed. So far there is an assumption, by piercing the needle into the ear and finger can bleed so that the volume of blood flowing in the brain is reduced. This method is considered to reduce the risk of bleeding because the pressure decreases after the blood volume decreases. This was conveyed by Neurologist & Interventional Neurologist, Dr. Fritz Sumantri Usman SpS, FINS, when contacted by Liputan6.com, Jakarta, Monday (24/6/2013). Finger prick, ear prick is wrong. Maybe one in 10 cases that after being injured healed. It's just a coincidence, but don't be. For initial treatment, do not handle at home. Just take him to the hospital, said Dr Fritz. He explained that people who have had a stroke can be identified from symptoms such as: Paralysis on one side of the body Tingling on one side of the body Speak slurred tongue If this is the case, immediately go to the hospital. Don't wait any longer, he said.
