Did you hear the story about the healthy 52 year old guy who had a heart attack without any chest pain? No... It is not Chuck Norris, although our teens LOVE that one!And, you can only guess what saved him! Thank you to the alert and fabulous firefighters at Fire Station #6 in San Jose, California and the wonderfully gifted cath lab and ICU staffs at O'Connor Hospital.
So... Here are lessons (from Friday, the 13th of October) :)
*Real Men CAN have heart attacks on tennis courts without pain and/or shortness of breath (even if they can run like bunnies and play as a 4.0!)
*Real Men CAN ask for HELP at the firehouse nearby (versus going home to "rest," where they often die!)
*Real Men CAN head for the firehouse "because I thought if there was a REAL problem, I didn't want to hear you say: 'So, Sweetie! What the hell were you thinkin'?'"
Great idea. This expression is one of shock and awe (with wild-eyed gratitude!)
