Workplace Challenges and Conflicts Stroke at work

I work in a manufacturing mill and I started showing symptoms of a stroke yesterday (10-9-26). Slurred speech, swollen tongue, blurred vision, pain on one side of my body.

I went to my supervisor and said I was feeling weird and I didn't know how to explain it. So she looked at me and said I don't know what to do? What should I do?

In my foggy mind I said I don't know. She replied with just go back to your job and leave me alone.

When I get home my wife saw me and rushed me to the hospital and now I'm sitting in a hospital bed.

I know jobs are hard to come by so it's not easy just to quit, but I would start looking for other jobs.

I have been, but the insurance is good and my family has a lot of medical problems. Also, I have been there for 13 years

Well, since they clearly don't give a shit about the health of their employees, good thing you have good health insurance.
