OF THAT SINKING CAR. THE REASON BEHIND THE ACCIDENT IS STILL UNCLEAR. WELL, NOW TO A WARNING TONIGHT FROM ONE OF THE LEAST LIKELY STROKE VICTIMS YOU’LL EVER MEET. HE’S 23 YEARS OLD AND A COLLEGE ATHLETE. HE FITS ABSOLUTELY LUTELY. NONE OF THE RISK FACTORS. A SOCIAL AIDE WITH A STROKE. AND YET HE STILL HAD ONE. ARI HAIT JOINS US NOW IN THE STUDIO WITH JONAH ROBERTSON’S STORY AND THE MESSAGE HE HOPES YOU’LL LEARN FROM IT. ALL RIGHT, FELICIA, THOSE RISK FACTORS YOU JUST MENTIONED, THINGS LIKE SMOKING, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETE HIS OLD AGE. THOSE ARE WHAT MOST OFTEN LEAD TO A STROKE, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE YOUNG, YOU CAN BE HEALTHY, AND YOU CAN STILL HAVE A STROKE. JOHN ROBERTSON DID NOT KNOW THAT. HE’S HOPING OTHERS WILL NOW LEARN FROM HIS EXPERIENCE. THIS IS WHERE JONAH ROBERTSON IS AT HOME. THAT’S THE ONE THE LACROSSE FIELD. HE’S BEEN PLAYING FOR PALM BEACH ATLANTIC FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. EVEN WATCHING THESE LASERS, HUH? I’M PUTTING ON A CLINIC OUT HERE. BUT THIS IS WHERE JONAH FOUND HIMSELF IN OCTOBER. SAINT MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER, THE HEALTHY 23 YEAR OLD SUFFERED A STROKE. I HAD NO IDEA. I NEVER DIDN’T EVEN THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN A STROKE. JONAH SAYS HE WAS JUST HANGING OUT WHEN SUDDENLY HE FELT WEIRD. DIZZY STARTED TO LOSE HIS SIGHT. I WAS TRYING TO TALK AND I WAS TRYING TO RELAY WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I COULDN’T FIND THE WORDS. FORTUNATELY, LEAD DON’T. HIS GIRLFRIEND IS AN E.R. NURSE. SHE RECOGNIZED THE SIGNS OF A STROKE. AND FORTUNATELY, JONAH WAS SMART ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO HIS GIRLFRIEND WHEN SHE TOLD HIM TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I DIDN’T HAVE FEELING IN MY RIGHT ARM OR MY RIGHT CHEEK AT THE TIME, SO I JUST FIGURED, YOU KNOW, HE MIGHT BE RIGHT. BETTER SAFE. I’M SORRY, BUT A YOUNG MAN WITH NO PAST MEDICAL HISTORY BEFORE IS VERY UNUSUAL, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF, ACCORDING TO DR. JUAN RAMOS CONSECO, THE VASCULAR NEUROLOGIST WHO TREATED JONAH. HE SAYS JONAH HAD A BLOOD CLOT WHICH TRAVELED TO HIS BRAIN, CAUSING THE STROKE. BUT WHAT CAUSED THE CLOT? AND JONES CASE, WE STILL HAVEN’T DETERMINED. SO WE WE DID ALL THE STUDIES FOR HIM. WE DID LOOK AT THE HEART. WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE. AND THAT PART IS COMMON. ACCORDING TO DR. RAMOS CONSECO. HE SAYS WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE SUFFER A STROKE, DOCTORS FREQUENTLY NEVER FIGURE OUT WHY. THAT’S LIKE WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO SAY. BECAUSE JONAH WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. SO QUICKLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO USE MEDICINE TO DISSOLVE THE CLOT. HE LEFT THE HOSPITAL THE NEXT DAY AND HAS BEEN SYMPTOM FREE EVER SINCE. HE KNOWS HIS GIRLFRIEND SAVED HIS LIFE. HE HOPES HIS STORY WILL SAVE SOMEONE ELSE’S. IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, DON’T BRUSH IT OFF AS SOMETHING SLIGHT BECAUSE IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY FATAL AND IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER. OH, I ASKED DR. RAMOS CONSECO WHAT ADVICE HE HAS FOR PEOPLE. HE ACTUALLY SAID THIS. HE SAID WE SHOULD ALL DO WHAT JONAH DID DATE. AND HE ANSWERS SO SHE CAN TELL YOU WHEN TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. AND IF THAT’S NOT AN OPTION, LEARN THE SIGNS OF A STROKE AND GO TO THE E.R. IF YOU THINK IT’S EVEN A POSSIBILITY, YOU’RE HAVING A STROKE. EVERY MINUTE YOU WAIT MAKES THE TREATMENT MORE DIFFICULT AND THE CHANCES OF LONG TERM IMPACT MORE LIKELY. REPORTIN
