A TV presenter from Oklahoma, USA, was hospitalized this Saturday after suffering a stroke while presenting live news (2).
Julie Chin covered a live story when she was getting sick. She quickly had trouble reading the messages on the teleprompter and became a little confused. Eventually, she admitted she couldn’t go on at this point and called another presenter with weather updates.
“Sorry, but something is wrong with me this morning and I apologize to everyone. Let’s just get on with our weatherman Annie Brown,” he said.

After this announcement, she did not return to the air and her colleagues immediately called an ambulance. After being hospitalized, she explained the incident on her Facebook account:
“Doctors believe I had a live seizure that Saturday morning. Some of you have witnessed this firsthand and I’m sorry for that,” he said.
She also said she felt fine before the paper started, but gradually she lost her sight and her hand became warm.” (With information from Daily Caller)
