Julie Chin provided viewers with an update on her health after her emergency during a live broadcast.
The reporter — who works for NBC’s KJRH affiliate in Tulsa, Oklahoma — told Today on September 7, “I feel good,” just four days after she experienced what doctors told her was “the onset of a stroke.”
On the morning of September 3, Chin recalled struggling to read the words on the telemeter and noticed that her hand and thumb began to feel numb. She said she tried to text her husband during medical practice but couldn’t type the right words.
“I need help. Something’s not running today,” Chin’s text to her husband was read, according to Today. “My work won’t be as productive as my work helps me.”
Chin added that she never sends such messages but she “just can’t put any words together, like I tried.”
