last week, or was it two weeks ago now, one of the men who works in the custodial department was walking from our building to another and bam! he went down like a rock. he must have had a massive heart attack, but there were a couple of officers who saw it and immediately started working on him. several emergency vehicles drove up and by the time they had taken him away probably 45 to 60 minutes had elapsed. and they were doing chest compressions the whole time. we didn't know how he was doing until later in the day when someone in management related that the doctor said if he hadn't gotten help right when he did, he wouldn't have made it.
yesterday i got a joyous surprise at work when the gentleman and several of his co-workers stopped by my desk. he looked really good! i was sooooo surprised to see him but happy to see he was up and out and about. he had come by to thank everyone for all their help. not that i had done anything, but he was definitely appreciative to be standing there. it was just a good feeling all the way around!

ReplyDeleteYou know the safest place to have a heart attack--safer even than in a hospital? It's in a casino in Vegas. Most are equipped to get to you with a defibrilator in seconds, plus they have cameras everywhere to see you if you collapse.
ReplyDeletehaha, leave your heart in san francisco, but break your heart in vegas! that sounds about right on a number of fronts!!
