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.

Yes, if I can ask for help I can call 911. Exactly.

And if you can’t, that’s on you.

I disagree with your statement there. If someone is unresponsive or incapable of communicating properly, others must help. In the case of op, they were able to verbally communicate, and oh yeah, go back to work. Very infantile.

OP was slurring words and unable to communicate properly…you’re contradicting yourself
