Rep. Larry Womble, a Winston-Salem Democrat, was taken to the hospital as a precaution after he complained of not feeling well just as the legislative session was about to get underway Monday night.
An ambulance took Womble to WakeMed for treatment. He appeared alert as he was loaded on to the ambulance, Dan Kane reports.
Womble, 66, is in his seventh term in the House. He is a retired educator.
Update: House Speaker Joe Hackney told his colleagues an hour later, after getting a report from the hospital, that Womble appears to be doing OK.
