How Montel Williams survived potentially deadly stroke

[@dyoung2739]

The positive manner in which Montel has handled his health challenges are inspirational.

[@JaneDoe-ql7sc]

I concur! 🙂

[@coupleofbeers31]

Montel is a huge inspiration to so many people. He's tough as nails but a good-hearted guy. Glad to see that he is doing well nowadays.

[@estellepeony6216]

Thank God he survived, very special man!!!! May he continue to gather strength. What an inspiration for humankind to follow.

The first hour is all important. My Dad had a stroke several years ago. Driving down the highway between Ottawa and Montreal, my stepmom in the passenger seat. Dad has heart disease. He has had open heart surgeries, and various other procedures. He gulps down a fistful of pills every day. Thankfully we are in Canada, so he has always had the finest care. He realized, clipping down the highway like a jet pilot ( because he DID fly planes on and off of Canada's only aircraft carrier) , that he was feeling some facial paralysis and weakness. He announced the stroke, somehow got the car off to the shoulder of the road, and passed out. My stepmom, moving at Mach 1, got out, ran around the car, shoved Dad over, got behind the wheel and drove like a maniac to the nearest hospital emergency. She got him there in under half an hour. She gave the doctor treating Dad his full pill list. Then said "You'll be able to give him that special stroke blood thinner drug, to stop the stroke". The doctor looked at her funny and told her that Dad was ALREADY taking it, to keep his heart valves from clogging. My Dad had the OTHER kind of stroke. Because he had to take that blood thinner pill every day, his body was already fighting the clot in his brain. Yes he passed out for a while. He was exhausted for weeks. And he had a complete recovery.

[@perisndirangu1018]

I feel for these guy ,., he has gone through .. hell and back .. honestly ..I don’t even know how his alive .. for 20 yrs his struggled for his health ...his so passionate about his health .. he always cry’s when he talks about his health ...

[@dizzi2cu100]

If you rich and have good health insurance great they help you but if you have low coverage insurance to hell with the peo people they dont help ya you are screwed so rich people get best care

[@CANADIANBELLS]

@@Hautecakes90210 it's also part of being human 💕

[@lorelaigilley971]

He is my uncle O-O

[@tawana2inspire]

OMG. I love montel. He has been through so much.

[@yvefouladi7330]

So important for people to know the crucial need for stroke patients to be treated quickly! Standing ovation to the amazing, real hero New York Presbyterian Mobile Stroke Unit (Ambulance) that saved this mans life!

[@TheKoolAuntie]

yve fouladi And his wife! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@thekid26000]

5:14 this is so important what he is saying here for stroke victims and their families to understand.

[@Heggie42]

So glad he's doing well - it really shows what apt & timely treatment can do. My mum had a severe stroke six weeks before Montel's...the NHS took 24 hours to diagnose what we could see in an instant and the opportunity for treatment and all hope of meaningful recovery was lost (I'm caring for her at home but there's no calling it a good outcome). I wish Montel and his family all the best moving forward.

[@AvisWrentmore]

He is a Warrior and such a role model for all of us:) We love you Montel. So happy he is recovered. Proof that you can do anything:)

[@jeanhammerl6224]

Who is "us" and "we"! Don't attempt to speak for all. Ridiculous manner!!!

[@jebbie2595]

*Poor Robin, there's something inherent in Montel from his time as a Marine & a talk show host that, w/out even thinking about it, caused him to commandeer the interview from her!* 🤣 *I think it's safe to say she didn't mind though.* 😆 *Bless his heart, Montel has had a lot of hardships in his life health wise. But he's always plowed through like a champ & been a voice to the masses. I've been a fan for many yrs & I have to admit, I've always had a little crush on him. With those good looks, his love of God & country, being a Marine, his honest & giving heart & the beautiful sensitivity he has, what's not to love¡?¡*

[@linnycrocus6023]

I think that's how interviews should be. The interviewee gets the floor. None of this Jimmy Fallon shit.

[@melindarozas1334]

Me too he is very handsome man!! Even at 60! Still nice looking guy!!

[@boredweegie553]

I've had 2 strokes and on meds for life,I'm 47.

[@vickieevans2600]

I just said a prayer for your health. I hope the best for you. God bless

[@nikkinik8725]

Montel is doing it🙏🏾💪🏾

[@moubear32]

FACT: There is still no definitive cause for stroke of any kind. That makes that kind of thing kinda scary.

[@henryhawkins1194]

I am glad for Mr. Jordan, but I feel so bad for the countless people in this world who have no insurance and no rehabilitation during those critical first months of the stroke. I'm a stroke survivor and I'm so thankful, humbled and blessed that I had the help of P.T.,O.T.,and S.T. those weeks after my Stroke on Xmas day 2022. I intend to go back to the Hospital and thank each one of them in person asap.

[@CarolinaOats]

Omg I love montel! He is my inspiration! God bless you Montel, man you are the man! I am so very proud of you for not giving up. Made me cry seeing you cry and hearing your experience. Never give up hope.

[@anthonyheavey6543]

I absolutely love this gentleman

[@JaneDoe-ql7sc]

so do i! 🙂

[@the.dataloop]

Stay Strong, Just heard some bad news about Montel. You have been a part of many lives for decades.Thank you.

[@marshellemckelvy]

Montel Williams is a strong individual! I pray for better health! Bless him and his family! BTW- he literally looks the same! That man don’t age! 😀

[@sandraoss326]

Loved Montel he was intelligent & kind

[@nolawest5183]

It's probably because he was so fit & had taken such good care of himself that he recovered so well! Thank God for that!!! I Love This Man... I know thousands if not more also love Montel!!! I owe him a great big "Thanks!" 💕

[@susanashley2009]

Always loved this man!! What an inspiration!

[@abeverly85]

Oprah Winfrey had a much better talk show.

[@stevesibaja3123]

I remember watching the Montel Williams Show

[@jennyq4979]

Thank God that Montel has been able to get through all this! He's a great man and we still need him here on Earth, so don't take him yet God! I'll be keeping him in my prayers

[@MsNooneinparticular]

Ooooh sounds like a thunderclap headache, which means a hemorrhagic stroke. Weight lifting can be dangerous if done too much or improperly. I gave myself a hiatal hernia lifting weights and now have horrific GERD & chronic gastritis. If I'd known that was even possible I NEVER would've done weight training. Not worth it. Montel has been so brave dealing with his MS & health issues all these years.

[@dugproductions2556]

God bless him, and I wish him the best 🙏! Spread the awareness!

[@essentialeugene]

My grandmother had a stroke in 1986. It didn't kill her but she had slurred speech. Just about every person in my mom's family had a stroke. One of my uncles had a couple of them. It left his hand paralyzed. High blood pressure can cause a stroke too.

[@reggierodriguez6546]

He never ages

[@katiaorozco9990]

Love ❤️ Montel Williams .. more Montel for many many years more.

[@lisahouk7776]

that's sad..glad hes ok..he already has ms

[@abeverly85]

Thankfully he did not lose his life like his diabolical character Brother David in the "Touched by an Angel" episode "Into the Fire".

[@Queen76543]

Praise God Bless him and his family🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mercedeshendrickson8840]

I have always Prayed for Montel since watching his Show, and am so happy to know that he is doing fine, we need to trust in LORD Yahweh first and LOVE him with all that is in us and Love others as ourselves, this is being Christlike and all goes well with our soul. May he and his family be blessed.

[@hitothecamera]

He's amazing!

[@susansollee1839]

I watched The Montel Williams Show from day one till the end, I loved it! I know you’ve had health issues but you look great! God bless you Montel!🙏🏻💕 I didn’t continue following your career, I don’t have cable 😶

[@stevesibaja3123]

I just want to say a Happy Birthday to Montel Williams🎂🎁🎈🎉🎂🎁🎈🎉🎂🎁🎈🎉🎂🎁🎈🎉

[@ivonnegonzalez556]

He has so much to give us yet! What a warrior... and he still looks good!!!❣️

[@paulolone4372]

It's a good thing that Montel is a celebrity and you have good insurance otherwise you might not get good treatment in the hospital especially if you're on medical

[@normadehoag9124]

When was this recorded?

[@hollycow4873]

You are a glorious human being don't you ever forget that.

[@issiewizzie]

My dad just had his third stroke at least you tried in his 85 . he’s a fighter. What is strange is my dad is fitter. ThanI am ..he plays golf every day.

[@niawhittley5681]

He's blessed!

[@sassy3923]

What an amazing man!

[@clarenceswope3026]

I can relate I had a stroke and a heart attack at age 19 it has been a very very long hard Recovery Road I had to do it all on my own I didn't have Financial backing to get the rehab that Montel had and that is sad but if it wasn't for my stroke and heart attack I would not have my daughter because I would not have met my daughter's mom

[@andreafoxx7722]

SO SORRY U HAVE GO THROUGH THAT BUT YOU ARE BLESS

[@tonatiuhfranco8146]

I'm 19 as well had a stroke left my left side paralyzed I'm walking now no use of my left hand yet but I'll continue how's your progress

[@deongohealthy5487]

Montel Williams....Wow😒 I am glad he doing well. God bless you

[@ahmeshaz3602]

His a real hero what a fighter what a man

[@abeverly85]

Thankfully, he did not have a tragic end like his villainous character Brother David in the "Touched by an Angel" episode "Into the Fire".

[@perisndirangu1018]

I noticed when older men workout too hard in the gym .. should not pick up weights... like a a 20 yr old ....second person to suffer life mishap in the gym .. sad

[@jeffnuhf]

Sound Money or tennis instructor. Hehe

[@elgeneralxx]

Why is there always a problem with him? God bless him tho he survived

[@jameskennedy5799]

I thank montel for all his work with medical marijuana... We need more montels in the marijuana industry. It's a medication!!

[@c.a.mcneil2600]

Glad for Mr. Williams! But sir, remember you are not 30 anymore. Eating the right things, keeping a constant check on your blood pressure before and after you exercise, and taking it easy in the gym is all essential l as we age in life!

[@deongohealthy5487]

[@williamsmith169]

"You get out of it what you put in" is such nonsense. Don't get me wrong - yes, you have to work hard during stroke recovery in order to get anything back. BUT - not every stroke is 100% recoverable. I should know - I had my stroke 5 1/2 years ago, and I worked my ASS off during recovery. Yet, I only got back about 75-80%, and everything still hurts. ALOT. ALL THE TIME. I put in 100%, I got back significantly less. When people like Montel Williams say nonsense like this without context it makes it hard on all of us stroke survivors, because now people look at us and assume that we didn't give 100% to our recovery - which is horseshit. I'm glad he was able to find some recovery, don't get me wrong, but his words leave alot to be desired. - Stroke Survivor who isn't wealthy, had limited access to healthcare and recovery clinics, and didn't have a special stroke ambulance within three blocks of his house :(

[@conradoaguirrejr746]

i was in the hospital delivering a baby at the time of my hemorragic stroke...and like you i put in 100 % ( id like to think more) but ive only gained minimal use of my right side. you dont always recover 100% matter of fact always left with a deficit to some degree and once i convinced family to STOP with the "you will get back 100%" i was a much happier person. 6 yrs out 9-4-2020...

[@shenequakimbro2660]

I understand what you mean. My sister had a stroke in 2018 and I've seen her try to get recovered. It's not easy at all. She already wore an LVAD on top of that. She died in 2019 because she was tired of suffering. She knew if she had the LVAD removed that she would die and was ready to go. I've seen her try to get up but there were times where pushing was overwhelming. Being in the bed and not able to do for yourself can depress anyone and she start losing interest in things she once enjoyed. Don't be discouraged, keep trying, build up a strong support system and pray. I also became ill this year and it's frustrating to see other ppl with access to better healthcare. Something has to change with that as well.

[@GM-cm3qc]

Love Montel glad he's doing well
