So my brother tells me

Well my brother dropped a bombshell on me yesterday. He told me that he thinks he had a stroke about two weeks ago as he came out of a bar. He said that his whole left side went numb and he fell down as he was exiting the bar, he said that he tried to get back up but fell again. A taxi driver came to his rescue, and took him home. I asked why he didn't go to the hospital, he said that he had been drinking and they might think he's just drunk. Said it took two days to clear up, and he was fine.
Now I'm not sure whether to beleive him or not, he is an alcoholic so he could of just been drunk.
He's fallen down anumber of times while intoxicated, but when he said the whole left side went numb I started to think. He's 45yrs. old, not in the greatest shape, drinks to extremes, smokes non stop, eats junk from morning to night, and still skinny.
I told him to get a doctor to check him out, because if it was a TIA then it's a warning, and it needs to be looked after ASAP. He said Yah, yah, which means he won't go get checked out, I mentioned to my doctor and he said if he won't get help there's nothing I can do as he's an adult. I hope it's not what I fear it might be, but we'll never know until .............
