Duane Raible did not know it at the time, but in the early morning hours of Oct. 2, the Pennsylvania man was having a major stroke. “The whole room went bizarre. I almost passed out.

Raible, 52, who lives north of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was in Chicago on business last month and staying at the Thompson Chicago Hotel.
