“Listening to all the pressure on the president to negotiate, a lot of it from inside this room, it made me think, is there a chance the president would be willing to delay Obamacare for a year if Republicans were to agree to delay heart attacks for a year?”

Gotta be a first: Reporter live-tweets his own heart attack
September 6, 2010
The patient-journalist (not to be confused with a “patient journalist,” which would be another thing entirely) is Tommy Christopher, who is a media writer and White House correspondent for Mediaite.com, Asylum.com and DailyDose.us.
Late Saturday, Tommy tweeted:
•Ate dinner at the Mos Eisley Cantina. Enjoyed the pasta, but the wookie was chewy.
Very funny.
Sometime around 6 p.m. EDT Sunday, Tommy suddenly tweeted:
•I gotta be me. Livetweeting my heart attack. Beat that!
Followed shortly by…
•Paramedics think I will live.
•Gonna get a cardiac cat. Jeez, I’m old. This is depressing.
•This is not like the movies. Most deadpan heart attack evar.
•Still hurts even after the morphine.
•Ok, taking a break now.
Sometime around 4 a.m. EDT today, Tommy tweeted:
•Awww! Just got phone back from nurse. You guys attacked my heart…with love!
•To everyone who said “are you serious?” I belatedly reply “As a heart attack!”

Mediaite is now a new organization?
Dear Tommy Christopher’s Heart: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
