- [Bernard] Is there any special reason you guys picked me?
- Well, actually it has something to do
with the stroke that you had.
It's, sort of the type of stroke
that can be very instructive to the students,
kind of teach them some of the neurology points
that we're trying to show them.
- I see.
And you're an affable guy who's gonna-
- Charisma.
- [Bruce] Charisma, Cal Ripkin teachers.
- That's right.
- [Bernard] I was accused of not having any.
- [Bruce] I don't believe it. (chuckles)
I haven't known you very long now, but I don't believe it.
- [Cameraman] Okay. We're all set.
- All right? Okay.
Hello, I'm Dean Kindler, I'm the stroke neurologist
at UVM Fletcher Allen.
And we are here to talk with Mr. Bernard Badeau
regarding his stroke.
Anything else?
Enough introduction?
- [Cameraman] Sure. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- Okay. Okay.
All right.
Hi, Mr. Badeau, Dean Kindler. How are you?
- Good.
- Can you tell me your full name?
- Bernie Badeau.
- Okay. Are you right or left-handed?
- Right.
- Right-handed.
Can you tell me a little bit about what happened
when you first had your stroke?
- Blow by blow?
- Yeah.
- I had a PT class at seven.
I was at home, so I thought I'd take a shower.
So I took a shower.
When I get out of the shower, I dried off.
Then all of a sudden I couldn't stand up.
I was bouncing off the walls.
- In the shower?
- No, outside of the shower-
- Outside of the shower.
- My wife come in and said, "What the hell's going on?"
I said, "I don't know."
- Did you feel any unusual sensation
on any side of your body?
- No.
Any pain or head pain?
- No.
- Neck pain?
- Foot pain.
- Foot pain? Which foot?
- My left foot.
- And when you were banging off the walls,
was there a particular side you seem to be weak on, or-
- The left side.
- The left side?
Did you fall at all?
- Yeah, that's where my left foot hurt.
- It hurt after you fell. You fell to the ground?
- I sat right on it.
- Okay.
And when you were on the ground,
were you able to move your left side at all?
- No.
- Okay. Were you able to feel your left side?
- No.
- No. Okay.
And when you spoke to your wife,
was your speech clear or was it slurred,
or was it difficult for her to understand?
- I don't know. You'd have to ask her.
- Okay.
- I told her I wanted to get up,
help me up and that'd be it.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- So my daughter was there
and she called the ambulance right away.

all of a sudden and just persist
through that period of time?

And then when I got home, I made an appointment.
Went up and saw Dr. (indistinct),

- Ow.
- Okay, that hurts?
Tell me how far I can lift without it hurting.
- That's it.
- Okay. Can you pull it towards yourself?
Okay. Very good.
All right. We'll stop there for a second.
I'll have you lie down.
Let you move some of this out of the way.
Finger with your index finger,
and go back and touch your nose.
I want you to just keep going back and forth.
Be as accurate, but as quick as you can,
and watch my finger carefully
because it's going to move.
- This looks vaguely, familiar.
- Good. Excellent. Okay.
Now what I want you to do,
is take with your right hand again,
take each finger and touch it to your thumb,
and go back again.
Try to do that again as quickly
but as accurately as you can.
Excellent.
Now, what I want you to do,
is like you're screwing in a light bulb.
Turn your first, real quick like that.
Okay. Good.
And on your knee here,
I want you to tap real fast, as fast as you can.
Okay. Good.
All right. Very good.
Now I want you to take your finger out here,
and go back and touch your nose,
but do it with your eyes closed.
So bring your arm all the way out here like this,
now close your eyes.
Keep your eyes closed, let me help you a little bit here.
I'm gonna help you close your eyes.
I want you to touch your nose. Okay.
Good. Now we're going to lie down.
Tell me if the pillows are okay.
- Can I drive home now?
- Can you drive home?
I'll get this out of your way.
(Bruce and Bernard laugh)
- [Bruce] Sobriety test! (laughs)
- You have to do the walking part though, I can't-
I'm gonna have you lie on your back, if you would,
all the way on your back.
Now, let me bring up the head of the bed,
if that's more comfortable.
You're okay like that?
- Yeah.
- All right. Good.
Now I want you to let your legs go real loose.
Loose is a goose.
- Yeah.
- I know. It's hard to do,
I want you to let your legs go as loose as a goose,
and don't do any work, I'll do all the lifting.
Okay. And we're gonna do the same with this one.
Just try to let it go loose a goose.
Okay.
Okay. Good. All right.
Now, can you lift this leg up in the air?
And I want you to bend it right at the knee.
Right up like this.
All right, now, hold it up in the air like that.
Okay? And don't let me push your leg down.
Push against me as hard as you can.
Okay. Good.
And now, keep your heel off the bed.
I'm gonna try to push your heel down,
so keep your heel in the air.
Keep your heel up in the air, and don't let me push down,
push against me, kick out against me.
Okay. Good.
Now bring your heel down,
and don't let me lift your heel off the bed.
Okay. Very good.
Now, push down on my hand.
Good. And bring your toes up towards your head like that.
And don't let me push down.
Push against me as much as you can.
Okay, very good, can you turn your foot in like that?
And don't let me turn your foot out. Keep it turned in.
Good, and now relax, and turn your foot out,
and don't let me turn it in.
Keep your foot turned out.
Okay. Very good.
Can you push your heel into the bed real hard?
and don't let me lift up your heel.
Okay. Good.
Now, what are you able to do with this leg?
Can you lift it up in the air?
Good. Let me bend a little bit at the knee,
see if you can do that, hold it up there on the air.
Can you hold it up in the air? A little bit harder. Okay.
Okay. Good.
Lift up as high as you can, and don't let me push it down.
Keep it right up about here, try not to let me push it,
okay.
So that's harder to do.
- Yeah.
- All right. Now we'll just go ahead and let it relax.
Now here, I want you to try to keep your heel on the bed.
I'll do a little lift and try to keep your heel on the bed.
Okay. Good. Try to keep your heel on the bed.
Okay, try to keep your heel on the bed.
Okay.
Now, can you keep your heel up in the air?
And don't let me push it down.
Try to keep your heel up in the air,
and don't let me push it down.
Okay, good.
Can you bend your foot down?
Okay. Can you bring your toes up towards your head?
Okay. Let me, go ahead and let your foot relax,
I'm gonna try to move it up.
That's pretty hard to do, huh?
- Yeah.
- They don't really move for you.
Okay. Good.
(bag unzips)
Okay. Now I want you to let your legs relax.
I'll do all the lifting. Just let them go real loose.
Okay.
(light tapping)
Okay, and just let your foot relax.
(light tapping)
Okay, now.
Okay, does that hurt at all?
Can you see that movement?
(talks to cameraman)
Can you get that movement?
- That's that tendon goes up behind my knee, right?
- Yep.
Now, it's three, five, four, so I dunno what that means.
All right, let me...
Go ahead and relax here, right there.
Okay.
(light tapping)
Okay.
And relax your arm right there.
(light tapping)
And just let your arm go real loose.
I'm just gonna hold it up here.
Just let your arm go real loose.
Okay. And just let your wrist go limp.
Just let it go real limp.
Okay, same thing here.
Let your wrist go limp.
Okay.
(light tapping)
Okay. All right. Very good.
Now...
This is why I don't get Christmas cards.
Right? You remember that?
I'm gonna scratch the bottom of your foot,
and then we're done, okay?
Well, almost done, but...
- Ow.
- Okay. Good.
Okay.
Okay. Good.
All right.
And now I want you to tap real fast on my hand.
Can you tap with that one at all?
Okay. Good.
And with your big toe,
I want you to bend at the knee and touch my finger,
with your big toe.
Okay, and down.
And with this heel, I want you to tap, tap, tap,
tap, tap, tap, tap, up to your knee,
and tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap,
back down to your toe. With your heel.
All right. Very good. We're all set.
