    you cannot diagnose someone off a video.

    As someone who works in medical diagnostics taking videos of patients so they can be properly diagnosed, I disagree with you.

      Note that you are taking videos of these people which is different than what is going on in a newsclip. Additionally they likely aren’t diagnosing neurological problems without providing specific instructions fir the patient to demonstrate things.

      Try asking the neurologists if they would diagnose someone they never examined off a news clip

        You don’t know anything about my line of work and yet you’re trying to teach me about it. These videos I take get sent to a specialist who makes a diagnosis from hundreds of miles away, without ever being in the same time zone.

        I know you are wrong, but you can’t admit that and it’s funny.

          Im not trying to teach you anything. Im pointing out that there is a difference between what you are doing and looking at a clip of someone you have no medical records for who isn’t being recorded by a tech for the purposes of diagnosis and making a judgement based on that.

          You’re a tech and I highly doubt you are recording stroke victims to be diagnosed remotely. That tends to be done in house since it is so time sensitive.

            Well, an 81 year old who fell and suffered a concussion 4 months ago is surely at an elevated risk of stroke. When you couple that with the dysarthria behind the podium… seems like him having a TIA is a pretty obvious opinion to hold.

            I guess you disagree, which is fair. So what do you think caused him glitch so hard?

              Asked my cousin who is a neurologist. It could be a stroke but with his recent history of concussions they said it could be a seizure. Without a medical history it can be hard to judge what happened just off a news clip which is my real point.
