Yоur pаtient аrrives tо her usuаl 10am physical therapy appоintment with you for acute left knee pain that started after playing tennis. When she walks into the clinic, you notice that her walking is unsteady and she is almost tripping over her right foot. You ask how she is feeling today, and she says that she has been feeling “off” today, with a bad headache and her right leg feeling weak, which she attributes to “doing too much exercise yesterday”. You notice while she is speaking that her mouth droops a little on the right and her speech is a bit unclear. You ask her how long she has felt this way and she states that it started about an hour ago as she was getting ready to come to her appointment. How do you respond?
