London – American journalist Julie Chin is among the most surprising and frightening situations that journalists face on live broadcasts: She started having a stroke while reading the news in the studio of NBC’s KJRH channel. in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Chin was talking about the Artemis I rocket launch on Saturday morning (3) when he started taking unusual breaks. He understands what’s going on and warns the audience professionally and calls the weather reporter to follow the show.
Colleagues call the emergency room to rush Chin to the hospital, where he spends almost two days doing tests. He recovered, told the story on Facebook, and had the opportunity to start an awareness campaign about stroke symptoms.
Journalist diagnosed with partial paralysis
The journalist made news with the station itself and with articles about the episode in the international press. He said on Facebook and in interviews that he started reading the text of the report, “but the words didn’t appear.”
The words were in front of me, I knew what I was reading, but the words just wouldn’t come out of my mouth.
He tries some more, but accepts what’s going on before giving the floor to the next weatherman to speak.
She explained that she felt fine before she went live on Facebook, but “something started to happen” when the stream started:
First, I lost partial vision in one eye. After a while, my hand and arm went numb. So when the words that were in front of me on the teleprompter didn’t come out of my mouth, I knew I was in trouble.
Everyone who watched it knows how desperately I tried to move the show forward, but the words just couldn’t come out of my mouth.
The journalist was grateful for the “team spirit” of his colleagues, who immediately called 911 when signs of a stroke appeared.
And he said that doctors thought it was the onset of a stroke, but not a full-blown stroke.
There are still a lot of questions and a lot to follow, but in the end I should be fine.
