The INTEGRIS TeleStroke Network Benefits First Patient
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a stroke. On Saturday, May 30, it happened to Johnny Miller of Clinton, Okla. He had just sat down in his recliner to enjoy a nice dinner when his right arm went numb. He tried to tell his wife of 52 years, Glenna, what was happening but his speech was slurred. Without hesitation she made the decision to take him to the hospital. Since he couldn’t get up on his own, she called 9-1-1.
