Emergency Calls in Acute Stroke
Stroke 34:1005-1009, Handschu,R.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This is one of the first studies to investigate emergency calls in acute stroke. We found that motor deficits and speech problems were the most dramatic symptoms that led to activation of the EMS. Other symptoms were less frequently reported, or atypical descriptions were given. Educational efforts are needed to improve recognition of atypical stroke symptoms by stroke victims and EMS professionals.
