I called alongside the road,
00:02
his boss who went to pick him up from work and he had complete left-sided paralysis.

Don't know the onset of that timing, I did get out of him that last night at midnight he took some pain medicine for a headache.

He did not wake up with these symptoms.
00:18
So from the time that the symptoms started until the boss came to pick him up, I don't have a time frame for you.

Other than not knowing the time at one set of this, I got a four out of nine on the fast exam stating possible large vessel occlusion.

He is Spanish speaking, so if you have one of those roly interpreters there that can help with that, he does pretty good of reading off the screen.

So he's interpreted everything pretty well for me.
