What happened is he's too fucking old to be making decisions for anyone not even himself.
He realized he forgot to hide the cumbox.
If you’ve ever had an 81yo person in your household you know that this kind of thing can just happen.
Last person I knew of who had a stroke was my friend’s dad. His wife heard him cry out and when she got to the room he was in, he had fallen to his knees and was crying, reaching up toward his head with both hands.
That’s a stroke.
Coming from a former medic, strokes are one of those issues that present a ton of different ways. Some people are in excruciating pain, others can't move their pinky and that's it.
I've trucked in an old timer who insisted he was fine and only going to make his wife stop nagging him. Guy had a brain bleed that would have killed him if he wasn't already in the hospital.
You're completely right though, that he's fucking 81 and it could have been a thousand different things. Just pointing out how insidious strokes can be. I have no idea why he wasn't taken directly to hospital.
True. I mean, strokes come in all different severities.
Hence the saying, "different strokes for different folks".
He wasn’t taken to the hospital because he’s surrounded by garbage people who care for no one but themselves. He’s surrounded himself with them and been one of them for decades, it should come as no surprise
You must not know the signs of stroke.
Do you have any medical experience that suggests something other than a microstroke or are you just being contrarian?
As someone who works in medical diagnostics taking videos of patients so they can be properly diagnosed, I disagree with you.
You don't know anything about my line of work and yet you're trying to teach me about it. These videos I take get sent to a specialist who makes a diagnosis from hundreds of miles away, without ever being in the same time zone.
I know you are wrong, but you can't admit that and it's funny.
Well, an 81 year old who fell and suffered a concussion 4 months ago is surely at an elevated risk of stroke. When you couple that with the dysarthria behind the podium... seems like him having a TIA is a pretty obvious opinion to hold.
I guess you disagree, which is fair. So what do you think caused him glitch so hard?
Edit: one month later and he's having more mini-strokes. I wish you hadn't blocked me so we could discuss this further 🤡
Someone across the room held up printouts of his browsing history. It derailed him. Trust me
