In the UK there was a load of medical PSAs about immediately getting someone exhibiting signs of a Stroke (which ofc includes TIA) to hospital coz every second wasted is potentially lifechanging/fatal.
Meanwhile, every time one of these episodes happens to one of your legislative ghouls everyone just sorta stares at them until it subsides, which is a particularly funny way to deal with the ageing politician epidemic i guess.
Three hours from the first symptom was my guideline when I worked in paramedicine. Within that we could push TPA, a drug that dissolves every blood clot in the body. After three hours the risk of causing a second stroke outweighed the benefits of stopping the one that has already done its damage.
I wonder what’s going on there. Dementia or a minor stroke like a TIA?
My vote is the latter, or maybe some kind of cardiac arrythmia that spooked him into “fight flight or freeze” mode.
probably 1/5 of young people have these by now

I’m thinking TIA, or a possible full stroke due to the tongue fasciculations.
