CBS Reporter Loses Speech on Air But Doesn't Go to Hospital (Watch the Video)

After a disturbing video recently circulated the web, causing speculation that CBS 2 reporter Serene Branson appeared to be having a stroke while covering The Grammys, the station has issued statement on Branson’s condition and confirmed that she did not go to the hospital.

"Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning.”

It was previously thought the reporter had been taken to the hospital after having what appeared to have been a stroke.

During coverage of backstage events, Branson begins to stumble and goes on with a stream of incomprehensible dialog.

Dr. John Krakuer, associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, told CBS News that aside from a stroke, she could have suffered a transient ischemic attack - a “mini-stroke” that leaves no lasting problems. The moment of confusing communication may have also been caused by a migraine headache or a seizure.

Dr. Krakauer explained that Branson’s condition is a reminder that stroke can happen to "young people," which includes approximately 50,000 Americans under the age of 50 who have strokes every year.

Branson is two-time Emmy nominee and a recipient of the Frank Shakespeare Award for Outstanding Achievement in Journalism.
