The Astonishing Moment
Judge Judy, also known as Judy Sheindlin, has faced countless courtroom battles throughout her career. However, even she couldn’t predict what would happen during one of her live shows – a mini-stroke. In 2011, in front of her audience, Judy experienced a terrifying episode that left her shaken.
The Startling Incident
During this particular show, Judy believes she suffered from a transient ischemic attack (TIA), commonly referred to as a mini-stroke. Her devoted fans, who had followed her for 15 years, sensed that something was amiss. Without hesitation, they called for emergency medical services, ensuring her safety.
Judy started experiencing unusual symptoms, feeling as if she was moving and speaking at a slower pace. These signs prompted the show’s producers to dial 911, resulting in a rapid response from medical professionals.
A Frightening Health Scare
Despite her doctors’ concerns that it might have been a mini-stroke, Judy assured everyone that her health was sound. She believes that she may have indeed experienced a transient ischemic stroke, but the symptoms quickly dissipated. Thankfully, she has not had any further attacks and is doing well.
Embracing Life at 79
At the impressive age of 79, Judy has no plans to slow down or retire from her television career. When asked if she had any thoughts of retirement, she emphatically responded with a resounding no. Judy isn’t interested in pursuing hobbies like tennis or golf; she knows what she likes and wants to continue doing what she loves.
"I know the things that bring me joy. Why would I want to try something new at this stage in my life when I already have what I love?"
Judy’s dedication to her career and her passion shines through, as she remains committed to entertaining and educating her audience.
A Love Story for the Ages
