Anybody carrying a defibrilator?

Any other good ideas to share?

That's true, but isn't the general rule of thumb for both stroke & heart
attack, 'when in doubt, give aspirin'? And giving it as quickly as
possible is important, too.

If Sharon was given aspirin for his hemorrhagic stroke, he'd probably be
dead right now. He may die anyhow, but aspirin would have worsened the
bleed.

Seems there are more bleeds and ruptured arteries lately, could that be
related to Statin drugs??

I dunno. I've never heard of increased rates of bleeding from the statins.

Things like aspirin and ibuprofen have a much larger effect on bleeding
times...and those are available OTC, so people pop them like candy.
