Wow, that’s scary. Glad it was figured out and fixable. Grateful that someone recognized it as an emergency situation. I recently had a patient that didn’t recognize that her inability to use one side of her body normally was an emergency, she stayed at home monitoring the situation a little longer than ideal. Her problem turned out to be a stroke. There’s a mnemonic for when to seek emergency care for potential stroke (and other neuro problems):
BEFAST
Balance problem
Eye vision changes
Face drooping/uneven smile or eyebrows
Arm/leg weakness (especially one side)
Speech problems
Time to call 911 because time is tissue
Thanks for sharing.
