stroke or neuro lyme? a trip to the ER

Wikipedia definition of Oxygen Therapy: "Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen as a medical intervention, which can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patient care. Oxygen is essential for cell metabolism, and in turn, tissue oxygenation is essential for all normal physiological functions"
So why the reluctancy to give it to me in the ER last night when they were ruling out possible stroke as the cause of my facial and limb numbness, bells palsy and speech and memory impairment? I actually had to beg for it, more than once. I could just tell my brain needed it; but they insisted my 02 levels were fine. Later, I refused to be admitted so I could get home to my 03 generator 
I looked up today the benefits of ozone and stroke; I found several research articles suggesting that if it were even a chance of stroke, oxygen, and more so ozone, could be a highly beneficial therapy. I looked around the ER, listened in on some nearby conversations, and couldn't believe my eyes and ears.... we are just missing the boat when it comes to medical care! And the close mindedness of "know it all" health professionals who insist there is nothing else to learn is just criminal.
back at home.... drinking my ozone water, did an EI and feeling much much better
