Terry Dubrow is opening up about his frightening experience suffering from a ministroke, and how his wife, 's Heather Dubrow, managed to save his life.Terry spoke with ET's Brice Sander on Wednesday and reflected on what exactly led to the moment he began suffering from a transient ischemic attack, which is known as a TIA.«So we were at the Ivy, my favorite restaurant, the place actually that Heather and I met, and where we have all of our wedding anniversaries, and we're there with my son [Nicholas]» the star said, recalling how he began to have trouble speaking during the dinner — much to the fear and confusion of those with him, including his very concerned wife.«I looked at her and I said, 'What?

what is wrong with you?' And she stands up and she looks at Nicky and says, 'Call 9-1-1.' I said, 'Do not call 9-1-1!' And within, I don't know, a minute, it was already over,» Terry said. «And so we got into an argument.

I said, 'You are embarrassing me, stop this!' It had already been resolved. And she goes, 'Nope, call 9-1-1.»«My perception was not what she had observed, and that is one of the key messages,» Terry said. «What you may be experiencing, in terms of stroke-like symptoms, may be very different than what others are seeing.»EMTs ended up arriving at the restaurant, and Terry said he sat with them out of respect for their time but was adamant that he was feeling OK.

The more people pressed him to go to the hospital, just to be safe, the more upset and angry he became at the suggestion.Terry admits now, in retrospect, he was acting like «a belligerent idiot.»Since Terry felt fine and paramedics found his vitals to be normal, the plastic surgeon ordered an Uber to take him home and he stormed off.
