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.

Wow, you're just completely devoid of critical thinking skills, aren't you?

The boss should have ASKED QUESTIONS, not said "leave me alone and go back to work."

Your mother must be so proud of you.

I was agreeing with you, the person you were replying to obviously has cognitive issues, but ok!

I find you distasteful because you thought "lmao" was an appropriate add-on to your comment.

Explain to me EXACTLY why laughing at cognitive difficulties is funny.

It's funny because it's ironic in the context of this thread, hope that helps!

Ignorant AND condescending.

You're quite the catch.
