Remembering all 50 states and reciting them quickly in alphabetical order is not a simple task for most people under ordinary circumstances — but one 24-year-old made it appear so during the most extraordinary of circumstances.
Jayden Zientara, a health care partner at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, recently underwent brain surgery.
In an interview, she shared her brain surgery journey with Fox News Digital — including her shocking path to a diagnosis and its aftermath.
The 24-year-old said it all started with a bad migraine in late Nov. 2023.
“I never get migraines or headaches, so like any other person, I took Ibuprofen and Tylenol, hoping my headache would go away,” she said.
After another miserable 24 hours, Zientara decided to go to urgent care and see if the doctors there could help address her pain.
“I was prescribed … sleep meds and headache meds … and was told that if my migraine didn’t go away in the next 24 hours, that I needed to go get a CT scan,” she recalled.
