Sticking my head into see how the potential winners are....funeral was 2 hours--very tough. Reception was food-stocked....turkey/mashed potatoes/stuffing and tons of desserts. 390 people were at the service...Standing Room Only. I was lucky to have gotten there early. Spent some time with the family at the reception...friend's father is having light chest pains and as I was leaving the reception he accepted our push to go to the hospital since most people had eaten and left already. I fear for his future. Had dinner with Suz...she brought Wendy's home from work so it was quiet and quick...and here I am for a quick 4 hr half shift.. I'm not winning today...not at all. |

The hospital is a good place for him to go at the moment. I have had to drive someone to the hospital with chest pains - it turned out to be something completely different than a heart attack.

I've had those, Really painful things, Thankfully they go away.

He wanted to drive himself. We dissuaded him, and two of us went. One driving, and the other riding. We also took along an AED, just in case. I am not going to confirm or deny any guesses as to exactly what. BOINC WIKI |

Whats wrong with driving yourself? When I had my heart attack I drove myself. I won and I'm still winning. Even with the chicken wire they suck in my chest. |

What happens if you pass out at 65 MPH on the interstate because your heart attack progresses further? You wreck your car, cause extra injury to your self, and possibly take out an innocent bystander or two. And to top it off, you are not really any closer to medical help as you may have to be extracted from the car. This extraction can take more than the 5 minutes required for serious brain damage. I watched pretty much exactly this happen a couple of weeks ago (the driver probably fell asleep at the wheel rather than having a heart attack - but the results were similar). The driver apparently slumped forward over the steering wheel and the airbag went off in his face. When I got to him he was still unconcious. He was bleeding from the ears, and from scalp wounds as well as from cuts and scrapes other places. His car also took out two other vehicles. Fortunately, his were the only injuries, and those were not anywhere near fatal. Just because you got away with it does not mean it is safe. When you are having a heart attack, the likely hood of your passing out is higher than normal. Passing out while driving a car is extremely dangerous. Your best bet is to find someone trained in CPR with an AED, and get a ride to the Emergency Room. This is safer for everyone involved. FWIW, I am trained in CPR and with the AED as was the driver. (No, I do not work for an ambulance company). BOINC WIKI |

My brother is a Paramedic for LA county fire. But in my case, I could wait about 30 mins for my wife to get out of the bath, 15 mins for 911 response, walk which would have take about 10 mins and increased my ox demand, or drive the 2 blocks at a top speed of about 20 mph and get to emergency in 3 mins. I drove. |

While there is a risk driving 2 blocks at 20 MPH with heart attack symptoms, it is not nearly as great as doing the same thing for 10 minutes on the interstate + several minutes at each end.

Evening win after a fun filled winning day at The Living Desert. Re: Heart Attacks. Taken the same person to the hospital twice. First time he said heart attack but being the photographer he is, he insisted on dropping the film he had shot of the model, whom I also had to take home, into the lab before the hospital. It was a heart attack. Second time he thought stomach flu. Hospital went into heart attack mode. Enzyme test was negative, discharged in about 8 hours after an IV to rehydrate. |

Oasis of the Seas Passing under bridge | HD The bridge you see here has a height of 65m, whilst Oasis has a air draft of 72m. They used a combination of low tide, telescoping funnels, the squat effect (where by a ship traveling at high speed will be dragged deeper into the water), and the ability of the ship to take on water to pass underneath the bridge. Amazing! - Luke. |

I drove. Carlos, dude, I do not think that your wife would have taken a leisurely bath knowing you were having a heart attack!!! I'd be out of the tub immediately if I thought Eric was having a heart attack... As a 20 year hospital employee I'd like to recommend that if you think you are having a heart attack, go the ambulance route!!! They generally get you to the ER faster, they hook up IV's while you're riding, they're trained and right there to help you if you code and as an added benefit - anybody who arrives at the ER in an ambulance typically gets put right in a room, rather than going into the waiting area. Come on all you stress-junkie tough guys, don't mess around with this! You all have people in your lives who love you and who want you around a long, long time. Don't drive yourselves to the ER!!! Don't even let a loved one drive you, because if you code your loved one will be torn between trying to assist you and trying to drive like crazy. Call 911 and go in an ambulance. Getting off my soap box now... |

Well You and My Sister in law have something in common, You both work at a Hospital, Although right now She's working for 2 Hospitals, Like 6 days a week to pay off some home improvements early. Me I'd just call 911 and unlock the front door as I have the only keys to the house. But then I have nothing to prove. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
