Oh my! I hope she recovers. Prayers for her.
My son had a classmate that had a stoke. She was 15 at the time. She never did recover and died a few years later.
Women who smoke and take birth control medication are at very high risk, it can be quite serious.
Poor woman. I hope she’s all right.
Wow! That was strange and disturbing and I hope she’s okay with no residual damage or other ill effects.
Best wishes to her for a full recovery.
May God bless her with a complete recovery.
My guess is a partial complex seizure disorder, or possibly a Grand Mal seizure disorder contolled by medication (but not entirely successfully).
Had a good friend have a stroke while eating lunch
with me. Took a few seconds to realize what had happened.
He got his speech back after a few minutes and denied
any thing wrong, but a few simple tests convinced him
and we got him to hospital, unfortunately he had massive
stokes in the following 24 hrs and died.
Ask the person to touch their nose, if they can’t do it,
bad sign.
Have them walk a straight line, can’t do it, not good.
Have them stick out their tongue, if it curves to one
side, another indicator, get them help fast.
Learn the signs of stroke, save someone’s life.
Poor baby. The frightened look on her face brought tears to my eyes. I hope she makes a full recovery soon.
It fit right in with the things "the talent" were saying.
She seemed ok at first. After her first few words she started to have real problems. And I don’t think she was drunk or drugged.
I once was working on a TV show and the host had a stroke on the air. The guest was a doctor, and when the host said “I feel poorly, I’m going home” the doctor said “No you’re not, you’re coming to the hospital with me.”
The host came back to work in about three weeks.
My mother has suffered several TIA's, one while I was speaking to her on the phone. In that particular case, she was speaking to me when her words (just as you witness with this reporter) became jumbled and unintelligible. I then heard her sigh and the phone hit the floor. I ran to my vehicle and continued to try and get her back on the phone while driving to her home. She answered before I arrived, but told me that she woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor. I drove her straight to the ER, where they performed the tests needed to see the evidense of not only this TIA but at least two others that they said might have occurred during her sleep, since she was not aware of it having ever happened before. She now takes meds to keep her blood thinned and to prevent clots... No TIA's have occurred since then. Now, if we can just beat the cancer back we should be doing well...
My heart breaks to see this occurring to anyone. In this case, you can see the fear come across her eyes as she realizes something has happened to her. I don't care what their politics or profession might be, it is a terrible thing to happen to anyone. TIA's, Strokes, aneurysms, MI's... They are all equal opportunity killers.
Prayers up for the young lady...

Just watched the video. That’s definitely not a drunk, nor a mere syllable or two off.

No one at CBS 2 News in Los Angeles is yet saying what happened to reporter Serene Branson at the Grammys late Sunday that caused her widely circulated and speculated-upon struggles (as seen above), but the station did say this morning in response to a phone inquiry that she is "doing much better."
It's a little odd that a more complete explanation hasn't been given, especially considering it happened live on the air, and they are a a news organization. But, there may be some employee/employer HIPAA considerations here as well.
I had a stroke at 49 and it happened in a manner similar to this young lady. I also first started talking jibberish that sounded perfectly fine to me but my patient started to give me strange looks as did my office assistant. I then tried to walk out of the room and fell twice like I had just been hammered by a Tyson right hand. Luckily one of my best friends is a neurologist with an office down the hall and he came in, literally picked me up, put me in his car and I was in the ER in about 5 minutes from the start of my symptoms. Undiagnosed hypertension was the culprit, yeah docs can be be unbelievably stupid when it comes to their own health.Very quick action and the immediate lowering of my pressure helped minimize the damage and I was back in my office 6 weeks later with minimal residual problems. I was and am a very lucky guy. And I never hesitate to buy my buddy a drink in thanks!
Update from the link. After watching her I sure hope she got checked out.

UPDATE: Fortunately, it appears that the hospitalization report may have been false. From the Daily News:
“Despite a report from London’s Daily Telegraph that she was hospitalized, Branson may have merely been checked by EMT personnel and sent home with a friend, according to Kristin Cruz, co-host of the Mark & Kristin Show on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles.
CBS 2 News in LA has yet to comment on the incident.”

Appears to be a cerbrovascular accident to me, but it is reminiscent of the sad Jessica Savitch incident.
