Oscar-winning actor and comedian Jamie Foxx is opening up for the first time in his new stand-up special on Netflix about his mysterious health scare. NBC’s Liz Kreutz reports for TODAY.
Jamie Foxx believes that God afflicted him because he’d stopped attending church. “When I forgot about God,” the comedian tells an Atlanta audience in his new Netflix special, “he blessed me with a stroke.
” Dissatisfied with this, he said, his sister drove around Atlanta and saw Piedmont Hospital, where they found a doctor who took her brother’s symptoms seriously. Thus, Foxx has all the material he needs to bless his audience with potentially life-saving awareness. These medical emergencies happen to people of all ages, and yet patients aren’t getting the life-saving treatment they need because too many people in the medical profession who ought to know the symptoms of stroke still don’t.
