What I'm really surprised by is when the ambulance people thought you had the flu and didn't realize you had a stroke. So a lot of people could get a stroke and not even know it. Did they know about your hand flopping around or any other symptoms or did you not think they were noteworthy initially, attributing everything instead to drinking a potentially spiked drink?
Well, I had thrown up the pint in my stomach hours ago, so my room smelled like alcohol. I don't believe my hand was flopping around, but I remember it took me around four adjustments of my hand before I touched their signature pad with the pen. My ECG (which they left behind) showed everything normal. I was talking very slowly, but three paramedics left and told me to call a friend. I was very confused and in no condition to question them. :/
