One of my coworkers, a woman just a few years older than me, had a stroke at work today.
She fell down in the hallway and when they helped her get up her face was drooping on one side, her speech was slurred and she was very confused.
They immediately called 911.
It took EMS 30 minutes to get there!
When EMS got there she became combative and would not get in the ambulance at first.
She is in the ICU.
I hope she is going to be okay.
This is a reminder that strokes can happen to anyone at any age and everyone needs to know the signs and to get that person to a hospital quickly.
EMS taking 30 minutes to get to the shop in the center of town is absolutely infuriating.
My next post will be how to spot the signs of a stroke
