If you're her employer, don't you OVERstate the gravity of the situation? Why understate it?

For the record I am mentally slapping myself for posting this and making light of what could be a serious condition.

 

She was taken to a hospital but I can't find any mention of her condition.

 

Same here Clyde. Hope she is okay.

The video has been deleted, her name is Serene Branson, easy to find another copy of the video if you want to see it. Based on this LA Times article, she told her employer she is fine and doesn't suffer from any medical condition.

A KCBS spokesman released a statement that Branson was examined by paramedics on the scene immediately following the broadcast. "Her vital signs were normal," the statement said. "She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home, and she says she is feeling fine this morning."

Is it possible she had a mini stroke that didn't really have any long term effects?

That is what I was thinking.

 

There is also something that involves the brain all of a sudden throwing out bits and pieces of words on it's own, and not what the person actually wants to say, I can't think of the name of the condition but no it's not turrets, and sometimes the person doesn't even know they are talking gibberish. If can come and go quickly too.

I will admit that as someone who does a lot of talking for work the ol' tongue and brain do not always seem to be working as a team.

A doctor they just had on the news said it wasn't a stroke, ot it would have been longer lasting. He thinks it was a TIA, a complex migraine, or a condition where parts of the brain briefly stop communicating with one another.

Boom goes the dynamite!

On Good Morning America today, the reporter announced that her vocal disruptions were caused by a migraine which was diagnosed by doctors. They called it a "migrain aura". Usually it creates vision problems like blurriness or flashing lights, but can impact speech if it is located in the speech part of your brain.

 

Mystery solved.

That's a lofty status for this lady but well deserved.

She said she had a headache and some blurred vision before this happened. She also reported numbness in her face and right hand, as well as some loss of sensation in that arm.
