Back last month, I posted a blog entry that included video of a female local CBS reporter in Los Angeles apparently having some sort of medical difficulties live on air:

In a remarkable but scary coincidence, an on-air reporter in Toronto also experienced a similar episode just yesterday (March 21), live on air:
Mark McAllister is a report for the Toronto affiliate of Global News. It is incredible how this all played out live on air and how McAllister was able to hand it back off to the news anchor, who herself was quite smooth as this situation all played out.
McAllister and Global Television issued a statement earlier today on the matter. It was health related (what it was was not divulged) and McAllister was examined by a paramedic on scene and will follow up with his own physician.
In the case last month with the female reporter, the issues were tied to a migraine headache related condition and not symptoms of stroke which was first thought.
