The model also shared a lighter moment, saying that the ambulance staff overestimated her age while she was in the ambulance. “In fact, there was a funny moment when they called the hospital to explain what they were importing and they were like, ‘I have a 30-year-old woman,’ and I was like, ‘I’m 25.’ I had to make sure I wasn’t five years old for no reason, you know. “
Hailey said she had no symptoms until she reached Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. She said they did a scan that showed she “suffered a small blood clot in my brain, which they labeled and categorized as something called a TIA.”
According to the National Library of Medicine, the TIA, or transient ischemic attack, is also known as a “mini-stroke.” This happens when the blood supply to a part of the brain is blocked for a short time. Symptoms include numbness or weakness – especially on one side of the body, speech problems, dizziness, loss of balance and difficulty walking.
