Oklahoma News Anchor Julie Chin Suffers 'Beginnings of Stroke' on Live TV 'Sorry That Happened'
Oklahoma news anchor Julie Chin is recovering after suffering "the beginning of a stroke" on live TV.
Chin of Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH was reading the teleprompter about NASA's recently postponed lunar mission when her delivery stopped and she started stumbling over words.
"Sorry, something is happening to me this morning," Chin said, before presenting her segment to the station's meteorologist.
Chin's co-workers recognized that something was wrong with her and called an ambulance, she wrote in a Facebook post a day after the event.
"The last few days remain a mystery but my doctors believe I had the beginning of a stroke on Saturday morning," Ella Chin wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. "Some of you witnessed it firsthand, and I'm so sorry it happened."
The news anchor recalled that she did not receive any warning prior to the incident.
"The episode seemed to have come out of nowhere," she added on Facebook. "I felt great before our show. However, over the course of several minutes during our newscast, things started to happen.
"First, I lost partial vision in one eye. A little later, my hand and arm went numb. Then I knew I was in big trouble when my mouth wouldn't speak the words that were right in front of me on the teleprompter." She continued. "If you were watching Saturday morning, you know how desperately I tried to move the show forward, but the words just wouldn't come out."
After spending a few days in the hospital, Chin is thankfully recovering.
He continued in his post, "I'm happy to share that all my tests have come back good. At this point, the doctors believe I had the beginning of a stroke, but not a full stroke. There are still a lot of questions and a lot to do." , but the bottom line is that it should be fine."
Chin also stressed the importance of taking action when someone shows signs of a stroke, sharing the acronym BE FAST, which stands for Balance (loss of balance), Eyes (sudden vision changes), Face (facial droop), Arms (a arm moves down), Speak (slurred or slurred speech), and Time (time to call the ambulance).
The TV journalist thanked her colleagues for her response to her health crisis and added: “I am very grateful for her quick action. I have always said that I work in the best team, and this is one more reason”.
Chin said that doctors would continue to run more tests to see if they could determine why she had the stroke and that she was hopeful that she would be able to return to work soon.
"In a few days, I'll be back at the desk sharing the stories I love with the community I love. Thank you all for loving and supporting me so well," she wrote.
