A woman experienced symptoms of a stroke: facial droop, dysarthria, arm weakness and reduced fine motor control. She recorded these symptoms in a real time video, which is now on YouTube. Several days prior, she experienced similar symptoms that were dismissed by physicians. After this episode, she was correctly diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack, and now on appropriate medications. But I agree with Dr. Markku Kaste with the World Stroke Organization: “Don’t waste time on a video, just call 911.”
