Ep 30: BE FAST - Be A Superhero - A 6 year old's Mission to Save Lives
In this inspiring episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa sits down with Dr. Rajiv Narula and his six-year-old son, Ayan, to discuss their mission to save lives through education. Together, they co-authored the children’s book BeFast, Be a Superhero - a powerful tool for teaching kids and families how to recognize stroke symptoms using the BEFAST method:
Balance

Arms
Speech
Time to call 911
The Narulas share their innovative outreach strategies—like bringing a BEFAST-themed race car to real racing events—and their vision for building a movement of young stroke ambassadors. They also discuss how parents can learn about stroke prevention while reading with their kids and how community partnerships, like with Yale University, help spread this lifesaving message even further.
Rosa highlights the critical need for more neurologists and advocates in stroke care—and how grassroots efforts like the Narulas' can make a real impact.
Key Takeaways:
✅ The BEFAST acronym is a simple, powerful way to remember stroke signs and take action.
✅ Reading to children can help parents learn vital health information.
✅ Community outreach, like race cars and school visits, makes learning fun and engaging.
✅ Education stipends and student-led ambassador programs empower the next generation to be stroke champions.
✅ Recognizing stroke symptoms early can save lives and prevent disability - every second counts.
