One of my best friends passed 3.5 years ago. 49 years old, did not drink, smoke or party, in excellent health. Felt funny that night and shrugged it off and went to bed. Got up early and still felt funny so they called 911. The wagon got there just as he crashed. They got him back up again and into the ambulance and he died again. Once more they get him going but the third time was the last.
He passed from a blood clot in his leg, that went to his heart and killed him. Left behind a 39 year old wife and 4 year old daughter and NO FRIGGING INSURANCE to help the family survive. We took care of them but its a shame all the way around.
We can and should learn from things like this.
