Episode notes
He wasn’t slurring his speech. He wasn’t paralyzed. He wasn’t even that confused. But something wasn’t right—and that’s what made this call dangerous.
In this Radio Report episode, we break down a real listener-submitted call involving a patient with subtle neurological changes that didn’t initially fit the “classic” stroke picture. Through the scenario, we discuss executive dysfunction, the limitations of FAST exams, cognitive bias in EMS, and why normal glucose and stable vitals should never stop you from thinking critically.
Because the most dangerous stroke patient… might be the one you almost call normal.
