General & Family Physician,  's  Response
What happened to your friend may not be due to car battery. His symptoms suggest that he would have developed transient ischemic attack otherwise known as mini stroke. Hence he should immediately consult a neurologist so that certain investigations can be undertaken and he can be treated early to avoid a stroke
