Michigan Teacher saved the life of one student's grandmother while in a zoom class!

Ms. Julia Koch, a teacher at Edgewood Elementary school in Muskegon, Michigan was teaching her students using zoom on September 22. She noticed that one of the student's grandmother was trying to help her granddaughter with connection problems. Then as Ms. Koch says: "I noticed her speech was impaired, and I asked her if she was alright, and she was stumbling over her words and it was getting worse by the minute. I knew the symptoms of a stroke because I lost my father from a stroke so I told her hold on and immediately got her help." (A Michigan teacher was giving a virtual lesson when she heard a student's grandma slur her words. What she did next saved a life) A stroke is when the flow of blood to the brain gets cut off. Strokes often happen to older adults who have histories of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases and smoking. Death and brain damage can occur to people that have a stroke, unless they receive immediate medical attention. Thankfully in this case the teacher called the principal and he called the ambulance. School staff also went to the house to make sure the grandma was okay and got the help she needed. If the teacher hadn't noticed the signs of a stroke and called for help, the grandma may have died. Online class may be annoying at times, but it can also be useful as well, as this story shows!
