Speaker 1: This is Heather Deubrew and this is Terry Borrow, and
Speaker 1: we're going to keep this between us and not really,
Speaker 1: not really, because today we have an incredible guest. I've
Speaker 1: had her previously on the podcast and you have done
Speaker 1: a game show with her.
Speaker 2: Yes, she is phenomenal, and she's had a recent health
Speaker 2: issue that sort of rings close to our home.
Speaker 3: She's an amazing famous position, arguably more famous than.
Speaker 1: Me, doctor Sandra Lee, doctor pimple Popper. She's here today.
Speaker 3: She's incredible, and she had a very similar thing that
Speaker 3: I had medically, and we basically were able to help
Speaker 3: hundreds and maybe thousands of people with this, and we
Speaker 3: wanted to hear her experience with this and maybe talk
Speaker 3: about it a little bit and what people need to
Speaker 3: look for.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's bring her on.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm fine? How are you guys?
Speaker 2: Good? God, it's been so long, Yes.
Speaker 4: I know, not as long. With doctor Dubrow, I went
Speaker 4: down and you know, person with him, he took the lead.
Speaker 4: He overshake me, he overtied I held to the way sore.
Speaker 2: I think I think he played you there.
Speaker 4: You know, we know who the big boss is.
Speaker 3: Will please, by the way, thank you for doing this.
Speaker 3: I was amazed and blown away when I heard what
Speaker 3: happened to you, because something very similar, which you may
Speaker 3: mar not know, happened to me. Yeah, And it's really
Speaker 3: quite amazing because I mean, you're a lot younger than me,
Speaker 3: and we're both but we're both really so we're very
Speaker 3: grateful that you would agree to come on and talk
Speaker 3: to us about this and share your experience. And I
Speaker 3: don't know, I mean, it made such giant news, but
Speaker 3: this happened a little bit of time ago, did it not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take us through a sondraw what happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I read about you and what happened with you,
Speaker 4: and so I see the general similar pattern, but mine
Speaker 4: is a little bit different too, and sort of the
Speaker 4: timing of mine and I didn't have a wife like
Speaker 4: you on you like that. I have my husband, who
Speaker 4: I call Dad because he does run the show in
Speaker 4: many ways. He's like my dad, but a similar but
Speaker 4: different timing. And I think that's the whole important point
Speaker 4: behind this. So really what happened is this did happen
Speaker 4: about four and a half months ago, and mine was
Speaker 4: a true stroke, like I still have. You know, some
Speaker 4: wine wasn't that like Tia so much. And this happened
Speaker 4: to me while I was filming the show I have
Speaker 4: they had on camera, yes kind of, it had like
Speaker 4: the symptoms started to happen at the end of the
Speaker 4: day of one day, my first day of taping. I
Speaker 4: usually take four days in a row. And this is
Speaker 4: the hardest part of the show for me, as it
Speaker 4: may be for you when you do the surgical part
Speaker 4: of the of the show. It's very time consuming. They
Speaker 4: kind of dermatologists. I'm not really accustomed to really continue
Speaker 4: with surgery at six pm at the end of the day.
Speaker 4: You may be more so as plastics, but I kind
Speaker 4: of turned into a pumpkin, you know, And so so
Speaker 4: it's stressful to kind of be there until six seven
Speaker 4: pm or so. And and I had I've kind of
Speaker 4: had a hop flash, which was actually weird for me
Speaker 4: because TM I had I had more recently started like
Speaker 4: hormone replacement, and so I was feeling pretty good on
Speaker 4: that on that side, you know, I wasn't really having
Speaker 4: problems with that. And I also then when I went home,
Speaker 4: I have to stay at my parents while I'm there
Speaker 4: because I now live in la and so when I'm
Speaker 4: in when I'm When I was at home with my parents,
Speaker 4: I was eating soup and I had trouble swallowing, and
Speaker 4: I just thought, oh, maybe I have like a little
Speaker 4: reflux or something like that. I'm on some medication to
Speaker 4: a reflux, and so I just kind of like said,
Speaker 4: let me just go to bed, because I need a
Speaker 4: good night's sleep. That's very important because I have to
Speaker 4: pace myself three day, four days in a row, you know,
Speaker 4: these long, stressful days, big cases. And so I went
Speaker 4: to sleep, and I remember when I went to sleep,
Speaker 4: I had like restless leg syndrome. I like could not
Speaker 4: stop moving. I felt like they were paying shooting through
Speaker 4: my legs. I had recently flown like twice too long,
Speaker 4: you know, coastal trips, like within a week, really twice,
Speaker 4: so a lot of and I don't like to get up.
Speaker 4: I like to be slightly dehydrated. I like, I don't
Speaker 4: like to go to the bathroom in the plane, that
Speaker 4: kind of thing. So so those kinds of things happened,
Speaker 4: and so I got up in the middle of the
Speaker 4: night to just try to get some food, actually go
Speaker 4: to the bathroom, and I kind of stumbled. Bit of course,
Speaker 4: it's at nighttime, I'm more worried about trying to sleep.
Speaker 4: I was kind of a little off bounced, but I'm
Speaker 4: also thinking I'm trying to sleep, you know, that kind
Speaker 4: of thing. But the next morning, when I got up,
Speaker 4: I tried to walk to the bathroom, and I noticed
Speaker 4: that I was unsteady on my feet, a little more
Speaker 4: so than usual. I was by myself. So I held
Speaker 4: my hand hands out, like, this is what you learn
Speaker 4: from your exam, you know, as a medical student rotations.
Speaker 4: And when I held my hands out, I said, am
Speaker 4: I just fooling myself? Because my left hand would just
Speaker 4: subtly collapse. I would try to hold it out again
Speaker 4: and it would subtly collapse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that two of the bee fasts balanced and
Speaker 3: you have strength, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: And soft My left arm was weak. And so I
Speaker 4: was like, maybe I'm fooling myself. This is very subtle,
Speaker 4: you know. Is this a panic attack? Is this anxiety?
Speaker 4: Am I just tired? And then I tried to speak.
Speaker 4: I wasn't really speaking to anyone, there was no one
Speaker 4: there in the room with me, but I tried to talk,
Speaker 4: and I did feel like it took a little more
Speaker 4: effort for me to speak so I went downstairs to
Speaker 4: see my parents. My dad is also dermatologist, you know,
Speaker 4: and he actually had a tia that lasted like maybe
Speaker 4: a minute or two when he was sixty.
Speaker 2: Were you automatically thinking at that time I might be
Speaker 2: having a stroke.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean I out my arms, but like
Speaker 4: it was so subtle too. I didn't know, right, And
Speaker 4: so I went to ask my dad, and my mom
Speaker 4: is a nurse, and so they really, you know, as physicians,
Speaker 4: they were like, you know what, right now the er,
Speaker 4: it is the best time to go to the er
Speaker 4: because it's the morning. You know, it's probably the least
Speaker 4: busy and everybody's frash. We all know this, you know,
Speaker 4: that's probably the ideal time to go, not late at night.
Speaker 4: We freaked, Yes, sure, you know, but also like maybe
Speaker 4: hopefully this is a panic attack. I still got ready
Speaker 4: for work. I still had full hair and makeup and
Speaker 4: scrubs on because I was ready to I there are
Speaker 4: people here, right, They've flown in from across the nation.
Speaker 4: There's passing crew staying in hotels. You know, this is
Speaker 4: how they make their income. There's a lot of people
Speaker 4: that are responsible. I'm responsible for and if I don't
Speaker 4: show up, nobody gets paid, nobody gets treatment, you know,
Speaker 4: all these kinds of things.
Speaker 2: Right, So you go to the ear. Do you go
Speaker 2: by yourself?
Speaker 4: No? I want my mom and my showrunner actually came
Speaker 4: to you know, because I told them that I'm going
Speaker 4: to the er. And then it's crazy. I don't know
Speaker 4: if this happened to you, But once you go in
Speaker 4: there and you say like, okay, I'm having a little weakness,
Speaker 4: I'm feeling.
Speaker 3: Like they get you right in.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a wheelchair right behind me, like will
Speaker 4: me through the And my only thought was like, oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, I need to make a TikTok about this,
Speaker 4: like wheeling through the halls. You know, that's how messed
Speaker 4: up my mind, is right, You're like, because this is crazy.
Speaker 4: It's like I'm being driven through the holes. And yeah,
Speaker 4: I initially.
Speaker 2: Well, Terry thought the same thing. Just so you know,
Speaker 2: Terry was in the room. Yes, I know, Terry was
Speaker 2: in the room waiting for his results and wanted them
Speaker 2: to turn Botched.
Speaker 3: On No but I and by the way, they did
Speaker 3: turn botched on it. It happened to be a first run
Speaker 3: on Botch that I was watching as I'm having a
Speaker 3: struggle anyway, can tell I was massively in denial. I
Speaker 3: so badly didn't want it to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, anyway, go ahead. So they're pushing you
Speaker 2: through the hose.
Speaker 4: So they pushed me through I actually to make a law.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to make it like it's
Speaker 4: ultimately there wasn't in fact in my right side of
Speaker 4: my brain here, and so I didn't really find that
Speaker 4: out till it took a little while to get that MRI.
Speaker 4: The CT actually was conclusive initially, and then you know,
Speaker 4: we wanted to get an MRI. There was a wait time.
Speaker 4: But also the fact the key here is really for
Speaker 4: everybody listening, is that I sort of had some symptoms
Speaker 4: the night before, and so I was really out of
Speaker 4: that window to get TPA, which is like a clockbuster,
Speaker 4: and that really window is to get that within an
Speaker 4: hour to four hours or so, you know, before you
Speaker 4: have symptoms, symptoms and signs of a stroke.
Speaker 3: So they admitted you, and you were you're not going
Speaker 3: to shoot your show, that it's done for.
Speaker 4: A while, Yes, for now, yes, So that was stressful too,
Speaker 4: to tell everybody to go home, especially these people that
Speaker 4: have been waiting for you know, years decades to get
Speaker 4: something done and they finally had the nerve to show
Speaker 4: up and then you know, I'm m I A you
Speaker 4: know that kind of thing. So it was it was
Speaker 4: very stressful.
Speaker 1: I'm curious about the difference in men and women, like,
Speaker 1: does this present differently in men and women?
Speaker 3: So sound it does. It's like a heart attack, very
Speaker 3: very similar in that in a man. It's the classic
Speaker 3: stroke systems, the bee fast, the balance, the facial droop,
Speaker 3: the arm strength, the speech, the whole thing. The bee fast.
Speaker 3: Yours was very different. That's very typical of female. Right yours?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Present initially? You just didn't feel well.
Speaker 4: Biglen when I actually went in. Yeah, I did have
Speaker 4: those symptoms, but they were subtle, So who knows. I mean,
Speaker 4: I do I feel bad that I did not present
Speaker 4: myself to the er in the evening? Yes, But what
Speaker 4: I if I were to go through that situation again
Speaker 4: with no knowledge of what was going to happen, I
Speaker 4: probably would have done the same thing because I didn't
Speaker 4: really recognize. And I think the timing was a big deal,
Speaker 4: the fact that this happened right before you try to
Speaker 4: go to bed and get a good night's sleep. You know,
Speaker 4: you may like if your wife wasn't there with you,
Speaker 4: you might have said, like, I'm just going to sleep it, you.
Speaker 3: Know, like I ran away by the way. I literally
Speaker 3: she had to chase me down the block. I so
Speaker 3: didn't want to chase him in.
Speaker 2: Heels, so let me go to the ar.
Speaker 4: We know what that's like.
Speaker 3: Yes, And plus I didn't want to get it he
Speaker 3: was I just didn't think it was possible, and I
Speaker 3: didn't want to get a diagnose of a stroke. How
Speaker 3: did you feel emotionally when the diagnosis was made?
Speaker 4: It is something that is like it's it's hard because
Speaker 4: there is some PTSD with that, Like especially when I
Speaker 4: go back in the situations. I just recently went to
Speaker 4: New York, and this happened right after I went to
Speaker 4: New York, So you just you just think all all
Speaker 4: these sort of things like, oh my gosh, did I
Speaker 4: do something here to make this sort of happen. You know,
Speaker 4: I got up, I wore my combustion socks. You know,
Speaker 4: I got up in the airplane. You know, things like
Speaker 4: that that I'm changing because you're conscious of this that
Speaker 4: there's a difference, you know, and just just things like
Speaker 4: that's a very you know, I feel the show is
Speaker 4: a very stressful situation, you know, because it's it is me,
Speaker 4: and it's just like you. You're performing surgery with many
Speaker 4: multiple cameras on because people are depending on you, cruise
Speaker 4: depending on you, all these kinds of things, you know,
Speaker 4: so it is hard. Thankfully, I'm doing well. I mean,
Speaker 4: I feel like when I get tired, So mine is
Speaker 4: different than yours because I don't think I have I
Speaker 4: had a full recovery because I truly had a stroke
Speaker 4: that really persisted, and so I know that I have
Speaker 4: to pace myself more. I'm still four and a half
Speaker 4: months out, so if I get overtired overworked, I feel
Speaker 4: like I can, you know, symptoms sort of kind of
Speaker 4: come back a little bit, not as bad. Everything's better.
Speaker 4: So I say like I'm ninety nine percent, but I
Speaker 4: range between ninety five and ninety nine depending on my
Speaker 4: my my I haven't gotten sick yet, knock on wood,
Speaker 4: but I feel like when that happens, I might sort
Speaker 4: of get a little bit worse. And you know, it's
Speaker 4: really important to me, especially for me and for you,
Speaker 4: because we are surgeons. We work with our hands. Thankfully
Speaker 4: this is my non dominant hand, but I know that
Speaker 4: my grip is not as strong now. I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: very good with my fingers now, but in the beginning
Speaker 4: I had a tough time with this side and it
Speaker 4: was really scary. You know that is scary.
Speaker 1: I'm curious about one thing because the two of you
Speaker 1: are very similar. You're both very highly trained doctors and
Speaker 1: a good.
Speaker 4: Way of course, all the good things, yes, all the
Speaker 4: good things.
Speaker 1: But you're both so smart, and you're both TV stars,
Speaker 1: and you're both you know, have these stressful careers.
Speaker 2: At your top of your game. What is this? And
Speaker 2: I don't think either of you are people, because I
Speaker 2: know you and I know how into your family you
Speaker 2: are at all of this, and so is Terry. I
Speaker 2: don't think either of you needed a wake up call
Speaker 2: per se. But what is this kind of event do
Speaker 2: to you?
Speaker 4: Well, I like to turn lemons into lemonade, and I
Speaker 4: have to believe that this is a blessing in disguise,
Speaker 4: that I we caught this at a time where you know,
Speaker 4: my blood pressure is not under control, my cholesterol was
Speaker 4: not under control, and I feel like this allowed me
Speaker 4: to stop and really pay attention to myself in a
Speaker 4: time or I could make things better, you know, and
Speaker 4: I think it's hard. I feel like this is a
Speaker 4: great message for people in our age range, you know,
Speaker 4: late forties, early fifties, mid fifties or later that you
Speaker 4: feel like, you know, with the filters and plastic surgery
Speaker 4: and cosmetic treatments, you feel like you can look so
Speaker 4: young and then you feel like you are young. And
Speaker 4: but so I didn't want I don't. I'm the worst patient.
Speaker 4: I don't want to see a doctor because that makes
Speaker 4: if I go on bood pressure medications, if I go
Speaker 4: on cluster medications, I'm old, right, that totally right that
Speaker 4: I'm seeing. Yes, you guys understand. So I feel like
Speaker 4: it's very important to take care of yourself because really
Speaker 4: it's crazy how just a low dose of high blood
Speaker 4: pressure medication or you know, cluster medication can actually be
Speaker 4: helped to Yeah, helped, but help help me, you know.
Speaker 4: I'm just bummed that now I can't take estrogen because
Speaker 4: the risk of stroke. I'm like pissed off that things
Speaker 4: I can't do now because of the you know, even
Speaker 4: the case get nothing. I'm not that I'm thinking about
Speaker 4: a face stuff now, but I know that there's risk
Speaker 4: on blood dinners. You know, you have to stop those
Speaker 4: kinds of things. So it changes.
Speaker 3: Everything for me. When it first happened, I felt I
Speaker 3: went from feeling invulnerable to suddenly I'm vulnerable, And it
Speaker 3: changed my outlook on everything, including how much time do
Speaker 3: I want to spend in the operating room, how many
Speaker 3: hours not smelling the roses? You know, do I need
Speaker 3: to start appreciating the other because to me, I like you.
Speaker 3: I love working, I love all things about being intensely
Speaker 3: focused on the job. But it really did change my
Speaker 3: outlook and it made me much more well. It made
Speaker 3: me hyper vigilant about my health, which it's important for
Speaker 3: you because it sounds like you're you weren't paying that
Speaker 3: much attention to your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and so
Speaker 3: now my numbers are perfect, and I'm sure your numbers
Speaker 3: are going to, if not perfectly already, but your HDL,
Speaker 3: your LDL, your APPOB, you're going to be all over
Speaker 3: all that stuff, right, right.
Speaker 4: I did not have a PFO as far as I know,
Speaker 4: Peyton for him and Ovale, but I and I was
Speaker 4: like kind of pissed that that didn't happen, right, because
Speaker 4: at least that gives you like a reason, right, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 4: it's just me and my poor taking care of myself
Speaker 4: and my genes, you know, or something. So it kind
Speaker 4: of was annoying that I didn't. I kind of wish
Speaker 4: that that had happened.
Speaker 2: He praised.
Speaker 4: Certain was the case.
Speaker 3: I told the guy when he put me under to
Speaker 3: check for that hole in the heart, that could be
Speaker 3: the cause, you know, the little plot that passed through
Speaker 3: on a recent travel chip. I said, you find a PFO,
Speaker 3: all right, And he did, and he welcome because he
Speaker 3: goes good news, huge PFO. And of course now I
Speaker 3: have the But in your case, the solution is still
Speaker 3: the same you need. Yours is a little more takes
Speaker 3: a little more effort over a longer sustain period of time.
Speaker 3: You got to make sure you're dialed.
Speaker 2: But I think maybe.
Speaker 4: It's good because again, it makes you want to be
Speaker 4: dialed in more so, you know, and not maybe if
Speaker 4: I said I had a PFO, I'd be like, oh, well,
Speaker 4: now that's true. Care of so now I'm good, you
Speaker 4: know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: That's that's a very that's a very good point.
Speaker 1: When you have a quick, easy reason for why it
Speaker 1: happened and it's fixable, then you stop looking at all
Speaker 1: those other things that you really should be taking care of.
Speaker 1: I totally resonate with what you were saying about how
Speaker 1: people don't take care of themselves but they want to
Speaker 1: look great.
Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of people I know.
Speaker 1: On peptides and GLP ones that refuse to get their
Speaker 1: carotids checked or get a colonoscopy is insane to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you got to. We got to get our
Speaker 4: priorities traight. And you know, it is the culture that
Speaker 4: sort of can make this happen because we live in
Speaker 4: this world where it's so visual, and we are in
Speaker 4: this visual world ourselves because we have to keep up
Speaker 4: with the Joneses right ourselves, because we are in this world,
Speaker 4: and so it is. It's it's a denial, you know that.
Speaker 4: It's it's a tough thing. You got to you gotta
Speaker 4: pay attention to ourselves.
Speaker 2: Are your parents who are also physicians? Are your parents
Speaker 2: on top of their health?
Speaker 4: Yeah? They are, they are. They're They're much better than
Speaker 4: I am. And I'm getting there. But of course, isn't
Speaker 4: it weird that you have a child. It is weird.
Speaker 4: It's me the fact that I'm also I mean, I've
Speaker 4: got like a neurologists. I've got a cardiologist, I've got
Speaker 4: an internis, I got all these people around me all
Speaker 4: of a sudden. You know, it's just and I have
Speaker 4: parents still that are doing you know, so we have
Speaker 4: this shame kind of doctors. I never thought that I
Speaker 4: would still you know, you you you kind of think
Speaker 4: about that when you're like more in your I feel
Speaker 4: like I would think about that more of my eighties,
Speaker 4: my seventies, you know, things like that. But it really
Speaker 4: is important to have those things sort of started or
Speaker 4: kind of getting dialed in, like in your forties and
Speaker 4: your fifties.
Speaker 3: Really, last time this happened and we at we sort
Speaker 3: of publicized this. We got hundreds of not thousands of
Speaker 3: emails saying that people got the message and we saved
Speaker 3: a lot of lives. And you coming on, I just
Speaker 3: think it's really important to stress the fact that you're
Speaker 3: in a way lucky because you had signs and symptoms
Speaker 3: that were not necessarily recognized, and you could it could
Speaker 3: have been much worse, much much worse. In fact, when
Speaker 3: you look at the stats, you could be sitting here
Speaker 3: with HEMI paralysis and ending your career. And we know
Speaker 3: lots of people that's happened to. But the take on
Speaker 3: message is if you have any of these be fast
Speaker 3: signs or symptoms, you know, paralysis or weakness or speech problems,
Speaker 3: we should when she goes, we'll go over that. What
Speaker 3: I'd love to know, But but you have there's a
Speaker 3: golden hour that you really want to get to within
Speaker 3: sixty minutes to the emergency room. And if someone's feeling
Speaker 3: this way, if they're a friend of yours, if they're
Speaker 3: a loved one, or it's just you, you get your
Speaker 3: ass into the emergency there as because you've got about
Speaker 3: four and a half. The number they give is four
Speaker 3: point five hours to use those clockbusters to limit the
Speaker 3: damage that they can cause. And a stroke is really
Speaker 3: serious and really debilitating a lot of people don't survive it.
Speaker 3: So we're both very lucky.
Speaker 2: Sondraw, What do you want whoever's listening to this, what
Speaker 2: do you want people's takeaway to be from you?
Speaker 4: I mean exactly what doctor Groff said there. You know
Speaker 4: that I think that you've got to be you got
Speaker 4: to be aware of what's happening. I really I see
Speaker 4: and even my neurologia has said that there are so
Speaker 4: many more people at a younger age getting strokes. And
Speaker 4: I think it has a lot to do with our
Speaker 4: blood pressure, our diabetes, are you know, our our high clesterol.
Speaker 4: It has to do with things like PFO and things
Speaker 4: and things like that. So I think to recognize that
Speaker 4: this could happen to you and to really be conscious
Speaker 4: that they there's a timing involved, you know that there's
Speaker 4: a time frame that you really want to take advantage of.
Speaker 4: And so those those are the really the take home
Speaker 4: messages really.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the other thing is a lot of people don't
Speaker 3: want to go to the er because they think they're
Speaker 3: going to sit there for five hours. And and doctor
Speaker 3: Lee and I have the same experience. When you go
Speaker 3: to the er, no matter how busy they are with
Speaker 3: signs or symptoms or complaints that might be a significant
Speaker 3: for a stroke, They're not letting you sit there. You're
Speaker 3: not gonna sit You're gonna go for sure, right, It's true,
Speaker 3: it's backstage pass, you're going right in. You're going to
Speaker 3: get a.
Speaker 2: Toss the backstage pass you want, but still that pass.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, And this timing could be the difference between
Speaker 3: surviving and not surviving or being you know, paralyzed.
Speaker 2: I know you have to go. I know you have
Speaker 2: a heart out. We adore you.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you are okay and that you're
Speaker 1: on the mend and now that you're in LA when
Speaker 1: you de have dinner.
Speaker 4: Yes, please, that would be great. I would love that.
Speaker 2: We love that too.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll get all of us doctors, we'll gravitate
Speaker 4: towards us. But yes, I'm so glad that you guys
Speaker 4: are doing well. And you got to listen to your
Speaker 4: wife more. That's to take home message for you, you know, true.
Speaker 4: So so yes, I would love to see you guys again.
Speaker 2: All Right, we have a great thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: Yes, bye, thanks for coming on. She's amazing that I mean,
Speaker 3: first of all, she's one of the nicest people ever.
Speaker 4: So nice.
Speaker 1: When I met her, I don't know, years ago, she
Speaker 1: came on my pod, Yeah, and we just totally hit
Speaker 1: it off.
Speaker 2: And she's just the coolest. And then you ended up
Speaker 2: doing the.
Speaker 1: Weakest link link and you guys all teamed up and
Speaker 1: then he cut her at the end and he.
Speaker 3: Won Terry yeah barely, but it was though he.
Speaker 1: Got I mean literally no answers, right, But that's another story. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the stroke symptoms because now that everyone's
Speaker 1: locked into this, let's go into fast. Be Fast is
Speaker 1: in a ENaC and mused to recognize sudden stroke symptoms.
Speaker 1: B for balance, right, so that's she had that balance loss.
Speaker 3: Doctor Lee had that. It's sudden loss of coordination. Okay.
Speaker 2: Eyes eyesight changes.
Speaker 3: Yes, very common to have, like you can't see you
Speaker 3: know part of your vision.
Speaker 2: F is facial drooping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I think nobody's missing that one.
Speaker 1: If that happens, well, if you only have that may
Speaker 1: be your word it spill's Paul's. You got to check
Speaker 1: all the symptoms, right. Then A is arm arm weakness.
Speaker 3: Right, weakness or numbness.
Speaker 1: And you heard doctor Lee saying she lifted her hands
Speaker 1: and run drifted down and one was drifted down and.
Speaker 3: Then s speech. Everyone knows that one slurred speech.
Speaker 2: Each difficulty and T is the most important.
Speaker 3: That's timing. That's time you got to get it. Look,
Speaker 3: it's better to be safe, okay, and just go get
Speaker 3: it checked out. And remember the good news is nobody's
Speaker 3: weight making you wait in the emergency room. Your way
Speaker 3: time is zero minutes because you get right in and
Speaker 3: they're going to do tests on you to make sure
Speaker 3: you're not having a stroke.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was one of the worst nights of
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you had your stroke and thank god
Speaker 1: you're okay, and thank god yours was fixable.
Speaker 3: What I want to know is I wasn't happy about
Speaker 3: it being publicized, right, Remember with me. The only reason
Speaker 3: I admitted to this thing happening is because there was
Speaker 3: a video of you and I fighting outside outside of
Speaker 3: the restaurant, the IVY, and they thought we were having
Speaker 3: marital troubles, and I said, okay, it was TMZ called
Speaker 3: me with that video. We're going to publish this video
Speaker 3: Terry and Heather we're having marriytald troubles. And I go, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: let me tell you what really happened.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you what's so insane about that story?
Speaker 1: So it happened when we were at the IVY and
Speaker 1: we're finally out on the sidewalk having this argument because
Speaker 1: I wanted you to go to the hospital and you
Speaker 1: didn't want to go. But the ambulances, the ambulance shows up,
Speaker 1: the pair medics are there, and this woman who was
Speaker 1: inside the restaurant because you could tell from the angle
Speaker 1: of the video she was someone dining at the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Took this video and sent it to DMZ even after
Speaker 1: seeing paramedics there.
Speaker 3: It's pathetic, isn't that hard? Yeah, So two things that
Speaker 3: are significant that night. One, you saved my life. Number Two,
Speaker 3: the IVY still made us pay for the meal even
Speaker 3: though I was having a stroke.
Speaker 4: It got the check.
Speaker 3: Yeah, paid the check. Yeah, I paid the check. They
Speaker 3: are well my meal at the IVY.
Speaker 1: So i'm when they don't come for your meal when
Speaker 1: you save people from joking.
Speaker 3: Either, I was at the IVY once and there was
Speaker 3: a piece of glass in my gimlet and it cut
Speaker 3: my tongue and they.
Speaker 1: Still charged before Anyway, thank goodness, you're okay. Thank goodness,
Speaker 1: doctor Lee is okay. Thanks again to doctor Sandra Lee,
Speaker 1: doctor pimple Popper. Incredible show that she's on, amazing work
Speaker 1: that she does, and she's also one one of the
Speaker 1: nicest people of all time.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm so glad you're good. I'm so glad she's good.
Speaker 1: And everyone keep those be fast symptoms in the back
Speaker 1: of your mind because you know what you just never know.
Speaker 1: And the amount of messages we got saying that they
Speaker 1: needed to use those that an acronym, so, you know,
Speaker 1: just be aware.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things where in medicine we do
Speaker 3: these runs of things just in case they happen, and
Speaker 3: we do these trial runs, right, what happens If this happens,
Speaker 3: that happens, and we practice and we talk about it.
Speaker 3: So if you're hearing this podcast, you should talk to
Speaker 3: people around you and go, hey, do you guys know
Speaker 3: what the signs of a stroke are and what you
Speaker 3: do and you have the Golden hour. It's something just
Speaker 3: to talk about. Yeah, you may never see it, but
Speaker 3: you may save a life, and the life you save
Speaker 3: maybe your own.
Speaker 2: All Right, you guys, Next time
