Woman Texting On Cellphone

A woman’s stroke was uncovered by doctors after she sent her husband a series of strange text messages.

Appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, “Dystextia – Acute Stroke in the Modern Age” reveals the case of a pregnant woman who was taken to the emergency room after having the following text exchange with her husband:

Husband: So what’s the deal?
Patient: every where thinging days nighing
Patient: Some is where!
Husband: What the hell does that mean?
Husband: You’re not making any sense.
Husband: July 24, right?
Patient: J30
Husband: July 30?
Patient: Yes
Husband: Oh ok. I’m worried about your confusing answers
Patient: Butithink
Husband: Think what?
Patient: What i think with be fine

Soon after she went to the hospital, a stroke was discovered in her brain.

But doctors warn that “autocorrect” features on a cell phone could cause a false positive result, so not every gibberish message is a health warning.
