Case: James, a 64-year-old African American male, woke up at 5 am in the morning and fell as he tried to get out of bed. Sharice, his wife, tried to help him up but could not. Sharice noted James to have lack of movement on his right side and had incomprehensible speech when she asked him what was wrong. Sharice promptly dialed 911 and James was transported via an ambulance to the local rural hospital.
