Katie Couric suffered a “freaky” health incident last month. The journalist’s family initially believed she might have suffered a stroke, but doctors later determined Couric had experienced an episode of transient global amnesia. She wrote about the health scare on her Substack in a post titled “A Day I’ll Never Remember.”
