He was having a stroke for hours, but ER doctors missed it | Behind the Investigation

from Behind the Investigation with Atlanta News First

Jack and Janice Buckelew have turned their garage into an inventory of life-saving medical supplies for their son. In October 2015, their son Jonathan became dizzy and disoriented during a chiropractic visit. He was eventually rushed by EMS to North Fulton Hospital Emergency Room. According to a Fulton County state court jury verdict, two doctors failed to properly diagnose Jonathan was having a stroke, one that went untreated for hours. As a result, Jonathan, now 34, has lived in a chair, immobile, for a decade. He has Locked-in Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder where a person is conscious and aware but unable to move or speak due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles, except the eyes.
