KJRH anchor Julie Chin said she felt great at the top of her Saturday newscast, but within minutes she lost partial vision in one eye, felt numbness and stumbled over her words.
An Oklahoma news anchor had the beginnings of a stroke during a live TV broadcast, Julie Chin, a reporter with NBC affiliate KJRH of Tulsa, can be seen appearing to struggle through a live report on an event marking the attempted launch of NASA's Artemis I rocket. Chin revealed on Sunday that her doctors believe she had the beginnings of a stroke, but not a full one. “The episode seemed to have come out of nowhere. I felt great before our show,” she said. “First, I lost partial vision in one eye. A little bit later my hand and arm went numb. Then, I knew I was in big trouble when my mouth would not speak the words that were right in front of me on the teleprompter," she wrote. "If you were watching Saturday morning, you know how desperately I tried to steer the show forward, but the words just wouldn’t come." "I’m glad to share that my tests have all come back great," she said. “There are still lots of questions, and lots to follow up on, but the bottom line is I should be just fine.” Now, Chin is spreading awareness about strokes and recognizing symptoms, including loss of balance, vision changes, facial droop, one arm drifting downward, slurred or confused speech and headache. The anchor assured viewers she’ll be back at the news desk sharing more stories in a few days. "Thank you all for loving me and supporting me so well," she wrote.
