Poor girl..looks like a seizure

[DManA]

It is a frightening video. Hope she’s ok.

It did remind me of the scene in “Bruce Almighty” where Bruce make his rival go goofy on air.

At one point, you can see genuine fear in her eyes. I hope she is really OK and this is a one-time occurrence.

[ColdOne]

It is interesting for me to see the responses to this story. Some have just all out made fun of her. I see no humor in it.IMO

[Texas Eagle]

Serene Branson, an Emmy-nominated CBS entertainment reporter began speaking gibberish during the network's post-Grammy newscast.

Maybe she was auditioning for Keith Uberschmuck's old gig.

Paramedics are not MD’s.

She MUST go to a Doctor and find out what happened to her.

[trumandogz]

My guess is that she was mixing pain pills with the firewater.

My wife demanded the control of the teevee to watch that nonsense, and I doze off when this happens.

I got to see queen laquifa with the hair and the turd in the curd, but not this.

Thanks.

[I cannot think of a name]

Back in the 50’s the Russians (and probably us for that matter) played around with bombarding people's heads with directed radio waves to see if they could cause confusion or disorientation.

I don't believe they were ever successful.

Hope this wasn't someones test run to see if they finally had the technology working!

[silverleaf]

I cannot even watch it- hope it was a mild TIA and she gets treatment, and it is not a tumor

[mmercier]

She does in fact to appear to have experienced a minor apoplectic fit or even a stroke.

I know this because I have done this several times.

It is probably genetic, and likely a form of slight epilepsy related to dyslexic that is not currently identifiable.

The only way to know for sure is the family history.

I live in LA and CBS2 has been trying desperately to not even mention her name, just saying how she is doing well and she will be back on the job “Soon” the moment it happened, they quickly went away from her, I guess assuming at first(What others might have been thinking) that she was drunk or on something, that it wouldn’t look good for the network to have a drunk reporter doing a live broadcast, but you can clearly see she was NOT intoxicated, something neurologically happened to her and I don’t understand why she was not taken to the hospital. She is well known here in LA, she is a pretty top notch reporter, usually sticking to entertainment stories, sometimes crimes, depending on who they have available. She is very young, looks to be in her early 30s. Last night I was watching CBS 2 and Pat Harvey said that she will be back at work soon and when she is ready to tell everyone what happened it will be on her terms. Hope its nothing too serious but to me it looked like a stroke or a precursor to one

[Darksheare]

Either that was a seizure or someone slipped something into her Evian.

[PA Engineer]

This was discussed yesterday here: Serene Branson 'hospitalised after Grammy's speech problems'(May have suffered stroke on air-Video)

On that thread I posted the following:

She needs to be seen by a Neurologist ASAP. It could be something as simple as a PFO or much worse. This was her warning and someone needs to counsel her immediately to seek help. The aphasia and facial muscle weakness was a neurological event.

My wife is a Neurologist and she watched the video (added that it would be helpful if every event like this was caught on video for medical review). She stated she should be in an ER immediately for a complete work up. Very sad and worse were the idiots making jokes about it. For everyones reference between 10 to 20 percent of the US population has some form of PFO an atrial septic defect.

[Marty62]

My Mother had one of these.
I went to get her for lunch and she was doing the same thing. Scared the you know what out of me.
I took her to the er and after tests the Docs said she had an eschemic stroke.

By the time we left she was speaking just fine.
Very scarey. She didn’t realize what had happened either.

[GoldwaterChick]

Happened to a friend of mine whose husband took her to the ER. Diagnosed a mini-stroke - transcient ischemic attack. Hope I spelled that right. She’s on a baby aspirin a day but another person might be put on a different dosage. Always best to get these checked out.

[Revolting cat!]

Quite an informative thread. You never know what you’re gonna learn here.

[dforest]

Hope it isn’t a tumor. Maybe a seizure of some type?

[EDINVA]

I hope she gets an MRA (deep brain MRI). A couple of years ago my husband had a stroke. *I* knew it was a stroke but the ER docs did CT scan and MRI that showed no stroke. Docs were insisting he go home. However, he couldn’t stand. So they admitted him to the “We Don’t Have A Clue” unit overnight. The next day they did the MRA and, lo and behold, he’d had a stroke!

This gal should nto trust to the standard ER protocol. *Something* happened. It may have no permanent effect, like my husband’s stroke, but she really has to know what it was.

[IamHD]

I just watched the video, and that is the exact same
thing that happened to me, the exact same way that I talked. The doctor thought I had
had a stroke, but it turned out that I had an aneurysm that hadn’t ruptured yet, but was seeping blood into the brain.

I hope they check for that!
