A Reddit user shared a frightening experience where they suddenly couldn't form coherent words while using voice-to-text with Claude.
After a few minutes of panicked communication, Claude insisted they call an ambulance immediately. Though initially reluctant, the user followed the AI's advice and took an Uber to the ER. Doctors confirmed they had suffered a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often a precursor to a full stroke. Thanks to the timely visit, the user returned home 24 hours later, feeling lucky to have listened to Claude.
