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?? My Uncle had a stroke (bleed type), My
father-in-law just died because a small artery in his heart bled into his
pericardial sack and kept the heart from beating properly. Both were on
Statin drugs. In both cases asprin would have been the worst thing for them
to take.



Don't forget Cipro!


You worried about anthrax on the high seas?
