A real life saver

Sam Ranney, cashier, and Kris Taylor, store manager, of Red Oak’s Lincoln Farm & Home BP gas station, recently stepped up during a customer’s time of need. When a customer appeared to be having stroke symptoms, Ranney and Taylor were quick to call 911 for assistance. A stoke occurs when blood vessels in the brain are blocked or burst. Stroke symptoms include confusion, difficulty understanding, dizziness, loss of balance, numbness, severe headache, trouble speaking, trouble walking, vision changes, and weakness.
