With talk of being shunted off to a home, which she didn't want and the docs probably talking over her head like she wasn't there or couldn't understand a word being said, I can totally see her starting to have a panic attack.
At the time of my incident, I was 33, which is considered young for a TIA. It happens, yes, but rarely for someone that young. Although, for me to have said that I'd had one before should've gotten the nurse hopping since, y'know, prior episode. I think part of the problem was that I was calm and not freaking out. Couldn't be serious if I wasn't panicking, right?
Given my novella sized list of current and past medical issues and the amount of time I've spent in hospitals, it takes something truly stellar to make me freak out. Although, to be fair, even when The Boy was born and a vein was damaged leading to a very impressive arterial spray that I could see even without my glasses on and knowing I was bleeding out, I was still calm. They'd either fix it or not and having a freak out would only make me bleed out faster. Yep, I'm that calm and rational under pressure.
