I'm trying to learn more how to identify brain bleed, especially because the symptoms are either atypical or can point to other (pre-existing) conditions. I remember seeing a post somewhere about a paramedic who almost didn't see a hemorraghic stroke happening in his 85-year-old patient whose only symptom was forgetting her phone number! What other signs I should look out for? If you have something like a checklist or something, that would be very helpful!

Brain bleeds? Tricky stuff, especially with seniors, 'cause the signs of brain bleed look like other things. Watch out for killer headaches, weakness on one side, slurred words, blurry vision, confusion, or wobbly balance. Even weird behavior or forgetting simple stuff, like a phone number, can be a sign.
Spotting things like a bad headache, one-sided weakness, slurred speech, vision or balance problems, getting mixed up, feeling sick all of a sudden, or seizures? Don't wait
