On American television, a journalist was the victim of an early stroke in full live, this Saturday.
Julie Chin was talking about the Artemis mission on 2 News Oklahoma when she started having trouble speaking up.
"I'm sorry something is wrong with me this morning, I apologize, I will hand over to our meteorologist," she explained.
Faced with the state of the presenter, her colleagues immediately alerted the emergency services.
Julie Chin was taken to hospital where she underwent a series of tests.
The doctors confirmed that it was the beginning of a stroke.
Tulsa news anchor Julie Chin has the beginnings of a stroke live on the air.
She knew something was wrong, so tossed it to the meteorologist, as her concerned colleagues called 911. She's fine now, but wanted to share her experience to educate viewers on stroke warning signs.

"My mouth wouldn't say the words of the teleprompter"
The next day, the journalist gave her news in a long post on Facebook.
“This episode seemed to come out of nowhere,” she says.
When she felt well, she began to feel the first symptoms: “I first 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 say the words that were right in front of me on the teleprompter.

Today, Julie Chin is out of danger.
The results of her medical tests are good, she reassures.
In her message, she also wishes to thank her colleagues for having contacted the emergency services quickly.
"I learned that it was not always easy to see when someone was having a stroke and that it was important to act: you have to call the emergency services without delay", she insists on passing on as message.
Several symptoms can alert you to the onset of a stroke: difficulty speaking, visual disturbances, loss of balance, paralysis of the face or even a violent headache.
If one or more of these signs appear, it is urgent to call the Samu (15).
