Steven is a 46-year old taxi driver. He is married with two children, David who is 21 and Michael who is 16.
At work one morning, Steven begins to feel unwell. He tries to phone his manager, but keeps saying the wrong words. His manager, having recently seen the FAST campaign, knows that a problem with speech is a key sign of stroke and phones for an ambulance. When the paramedics arrive they notice that Steven has a right sided weakness and difficulty communicating, and he is taken to the emergency department.
