There are two kinds of heart attacks, ones that are painful and give you enough time to seek treatment. The other kind, one minute your there, the next minute you are not.
Given the improvments in treatment of acute MI, I would prefer the former. 25 years ago, I would have said the opposite.
Compared to cancer, I would take either.
I had a gran mal seizure in my sleep. I have decided that it is the perfect way to die. My husband gave me CPR (he woke and I wasn’t breathing and had no pulse) and I was eventually revived. I recall absolutely nothing at all, from the time I went to sleep until later when I had EMTs in my room asking me questions. I think a stroke or heart attack (that doesn’t wake you) would probably be just like that. (On the other hand, I would not like to be helped along!)
As for this couple, it sounds like this is how they might have wanted to go. He clearly cared enough about her to try valiantly to revive her, even to his own detriment. Bravo, what a man. My inlaws died within 27 hours of each other several years ago. I believe it is exactly the way they would have chosen also. It was a little traumatic for the family, but on reflection, we were comforted that they didn’t have to live without each other.
Had an uncle that was here in the house staying with us
He stood up to go change the TV,anyway he fell like a tree being felled,never made a sound,shook the whole house
The Dr said he never knew what hit him
Feel kinda sorry for the EMP`s they have a rough job
I admire the guy trying frantically to save his wife
