中風婦女因自拍照而撿回了一命
A Michigan woman is crediting a series of selfies she took one morning with helping to save her life after she noticed she was suffering from symptoms of a stroke.
在發現自己患有中風症狀後，密歇根一名婦女將自己得以活命的原因歸功於某天早上她自拍的一系列照片。Juanita Branch, 63, said that she was planning to upload the pictures to her Facebook on aug. 13 when she noticed something was off.
這名現年63歲、名叫胡安妮塔·布蘭奇的女性稱，8月13日她打算把這些照片上傳到Facebook上時，發現有些不對勁。"Each one got worse and I'm like, 'What the heck is going on?'" Branch told Fox 2 Detroit.
布蘭奇向底特律福克斯2頻道透露：“照片顯示情況變得越來越糟，我就想，'到底是怎麼回事?'”
Branch, who had suffered a stroke in June 2016, said she saw her face drooping on one side and that she started losing her balance so she called for an ambulance.
曾在2016年6月中過風的布蘭奇表示，她當時看到自己的臉歪向一邊，而且身體開始失去平衡，於是趕忙叫了救護車。
Branch told the news outlet that once she got to the hospital her speech had started to go and that her doctor asked to see the seflies.
布蘭奇告訴該新聞媒體，她一到醫院就告訴了醫生怎麼回事，醫生要求看那些自拍照。Her doctor studied the timestamp on the selfies and realized that there was still time to give her a clot-busting drug to aid her recovery.
隨後醫生研究了自拍上的時間信息，意識到還有時間給她注射溶栓藥物來幫助她康復。"If we give TPA beyond the three-hour mark it could be dangerous," Dr. Jason Muir told Fox 2 Detroit. "It can cause bleeding in the brain and can be life-threatening."
詹森·繆爾醫生告訴底特律福克斯2頻道：“如果三個小時後才注射TPA就會很危險了，會導致腦部出血，甚至危及生命。”Branch is working on physical therapy and preparing to head home but said that she's gained a new appreciation for people who take selfies.
布蘭奇目前正在接受物理療法，並準備出院回家。但她表示，她對喜歡自拍的人有了新的認識。"I'm going to stop making fun of people who take selfies," she said. "Because that selfie literally did save my life."
她表示：“我不會再取笑那些自拍的人了，因爲那張自拍確實救了我的命。”
