Per the staff, patient was watching TV and then suddenly seemed to slump in her chair and went unresponsive.

Patient after that did wake up, however she's pretty much times one and nonverbal.

We did check a twelve-lead just in case and not seeing any changes.
00:40
We have a respiratory rate of about 18 and unlabored.
00:43
My pulse ox does not want to consistently read this patient because her hands are really cold, so we got her on oxygen.
00:48
Best reading I've gotten so far is like eighty-eight percent.
00:51
So I got her on that oxygen at four liters a minute at this time by cannula.

Yeah, like I said, the patient's not following commands, but she is moving the right side.
01:25
I don't see any obvious facial droop and she's not speaking right now.
01:30

01:34
Last known normal was approximately 30 minutes ago now.

01:44
I'm sorry, what?
