Scalia was in Texas to HUNT. Obviously mentally AND physically fit. In a very real sense, the Republic literally hangs and depends on this man. So how the heck does he die so suddenly? Not even suggesting foul play, just wondering what his doctors were doing/thinking. If this man were seriously ill, he should have been strapped to an I.V. pumping him full of whatever has kept Castro - and for that matter Ginsberg - alive until November 4, 2016.
Scalia was a very large man who liked to eat, didn’t exercise, drank, and smoked. Lucky he lived as long as he did.
I like your analogy. Let’s hope that “cop” keeps moving on!
I’m 67 and just learned I have an Enlarged Heart with a ‘to small to repair leaky valve’, seems to be age related, no real symptoms other than tiring easily. Even BP is regular unless PAIN drives it up. My lower legs swelled, I thought it was from the Peripheral Neuropathy, Neurologist didn’t like the sounds in my chest and sent me for a full Cardio work up along with leg ultra sound.
Scalia was over weight for his age and height good recipe for heart issues.
My grandmother went grocery shopping, walked into the house and dropped dead of a heart attack. Only symptoms was constant REFLUX or GERD as we know it today. My late husband died of a sudden massive heart attack after complaining of ‘food poisoning’ symptoms. Went to bed and I found him cold and dead 2 hrs later. No classic Heart Attack symptoms.
Exactly. Even the seemingly most healthy 79 year olds die of heart attacks every day.
As good as modern medicine is, it simply cannot "see everything" and know whether or not an otherwise outwardly healthy appearing individual has a ticking time bomb in their heart.
We're all gonna die of something. Some of us quickly, some of us slowly, some of us accidentally. That's just how life works.
Some people like me don’t trust doctors. I’ve had to many bad ones. Ended up diagnosing my own health issues. Those ER runs that would land me in the Hospital for 3 days with what they called Idiopathic Colitis were Gastroparesis Slow Motility a life long digestive issue developed after the Physio popped the L5/S1 and sent pain down my legs and into the colon. Whole different digestive issue. They ignored my Enlarged Heart with a small leaky valve for the last 5 years, until my lower legs swelled for 2 weeks and then they got worried about blood clots.
Insults from morons like you don’t bother me too much. I just wanted to see how stupid you are. Heart monitors for everybody!
