A television news anchor in Tulsa, Oklahoma suffered what doctors believe to be the “beginnings of a stroke” on live TV this past weekend.
Julie Chin was on the anchor desk on Saturday morning for KJRH, the local NBC affiliate in Oklahoma’s second-biggest city, when something went horribly wrong.
The longtime journalist was reading a teleprompter story about NASA‘s Artemis 1 moon-orbiting launch when she began to struggle noticeably on air.

The journo stumbled through her words multiple times before being forced to pause and try in vain to continue to speak. As the camera continued to point at her, she quickly realized something was very, very wrong when she was unable to read the words on the teleprompter.
Thinking quickly, she apologized to the audience for her struggles in reading out the story. Then, she immediately passed off the baton to the news team’s meteorologist before rushing off air.

Very strange, right? But this was NOT some news blooper or on-air f**k up. As it turns out, Chin was suffering serious stroke-like symptoms, and the whole thing was playing out on live TV.
In fact, viewers later learned about how her colleagues were so alarmed by what was happening, they actually rushed to call 911 in studio and get her immediate medical help. Chin was rushed to a hospital, where doctors performed a battery of tests on her and kept her under close observation for the rest of the weekend.
In a Facebook post she published from the hospital on Sunday, Chin recalled what happened on air and explained her follow-up medical diagnosis:
OMG!!!
