How to have a heart attack by numbers and in safety.

Sunday 2 August

1440 hours – go out to office and sit down. Realise that you’re not feeling well.

1445 hours – go inside and inform SWMBO that you’re not feeling 100%.

1450 hours – tell SWMBO that in fact you may be feeling poorly.

1455 hours – SWMBO call the ambulance service.

1500 hours – inform SWMBO that in fact you are feeling a lot better and you may as well cancel the ambulance.

1502 hours – ambulance arrives

1503 hours – paramedics set up all their gear, ecg etc and hook you up to them.

1505 hours – well since the paramedics have gone to all this trouble you may as well make it their while and decide to go into cardiac arrest.

1506 hours – MICA units called.

1512 hours – MICA unit turns up. Heart gets restarted somewhere during this period.

1520 hours – off to the hospital, lights and sirens – wheeeeee, isn’t this fun.

1530 hours – Arrive at RMH emergency.

1600 hours – into cardiac surgery. The idiots forget to put you under and you spend the whole time awake as they guide stuff up your arm and into your heart.

1630 hours – say g’day to paramedics who had hung around.

1700 hours – into private room with lots of machines that go ‘BING”.

All night long – machines that go “BING” and annoying nurses keep me awake.

Far canal. What a first post to click on.

I hope the danger is passed, and you’re on the mend.

Remember when you were talking about getting a boat a while back, what was the upshot?

Bloody hell. Forum folk are falling apart.

What now?

Anyway I hope you get all better big fella.

Apparently so. One artery into the heart had a blockage and they threw a stent in.

I HIGHLY recommend that if you do decide to have a heart attack you have the paramedics already beside you. It saves on having to open doors, make introductions etc.

shit man
don’t bother buying any lotto tickets, you’ve used up all your luck

hope you have a speedy recovery

i hope (choke) you’re (choke) ok, sibeen?

And you are out now? That’s pretty incredible.

I’ll be in at RMH until Thursday or Friday.

That is pretty poor planning. If you had organised it for next week after Tuesday, I will be down in Melbourne and could have visited.

you’re very lucky, most people don’t make it

did you feel nauseous before hand?

Good work by SWMBO to arrange that so nicely.

Excellent response times there, the Ambulance service should be pleased with that.

Mr buffy and I agree. And don’t forget to thank your spouse……for acting so promptly.

:)

That was a silly thing to do, sibeen. I suggest not doing it again.

Yes, very lucky Sibeen. Good to see you back so soon; I see the experience has made you re-think your priorities :)

I guess it’s Sibeen’s competitive nature and fighting spirit coming through. Daughter goes to hospital with a broken finger… Sibeen just has to outdo that.

Bloody!

Well done to all who helped.

Get better quickly.

(Did SWMBO put your pipe and tobacco in your bag for your stay?)

;)

I suspect he is going to be subjected to a few lectures about smoking and drinking over the next few days in hospital, whilst at home SWMBO is going over the insurance paperwork.

Time for a sea change?

Take it easy Sibeen and hope you are up and feeling better real soon…

Maybe lay off the cricket though ;)

WOW!

Amazing luck.

Take it easy and get better Been man.

‘kin hell!

Keep well matey.

Have they bunged a stent in or anything?

Get well and stay well, sibeen.

Sheesh :/

No more smoking! No more alcohol! No more swearing at the cricket!

It’s carrot sticks and treadmills for you, sibeen :P

Good work on your wife’s part for being on the ball. I hope the family are doing okay.

Well timed sibeen, all that engineering training has paid off. Get well soon and I hope you’re not now dying for a smoke & a drink. Well not literally, anyway.

Wow. You kept your cool temperment throughout and didn’t even swaer at the umpire?

Get wll soon mate. Maybe this will get you to retire your pipe?

I blame the Ashes. All that swearing was getting you worked up and stressed.

So that’s you and Rule who got a wake up call. Is there a SSSF club going on?

I was thinking about this earlier, the number of serious health incidents. All males.
Rule, s_s, Curve, p_p, sibeen…….

p_p was sick?

Divine Angel said:

p_p was sick?

Yep :/

Hope you’re better soon, p_p.

Divine Angel said:

He is, but he was in IC for a week or more with a serious diabetes-related emergency.

Yikes.

Yeah, and me, though not as uniquely ill as Alex. I mean..allergies with idiopathic anaphylaxis, GERD, ingrown toenail, high BP, old age, menopause, asthma, hangnail, ADD, PTSD, blergitis, arthritis etc :P Alex is allergic to sunshine and so many foods!!!

Aha! Blame wookie, Sibeen.

Shit, Shebs – if you wanted attention, the normal way is to just chuck a tanty.

Hoping for a speedy recovery, mate.

Thank dog the third umpire came up with the right decision.

Get well soon, the next test is in two days….

Divine Angel said:

I’m coping well enough, thanks :)

Nothing compared to Sibeen though, he’s trumped us all.

has sibeen posted anything more since the initial thread?

I don’t think so.

yes I do wonder

Gets the nurses station to bring him things like hot cups of tea, then rings them to come and fluff up his pillows.
Currently propped up in bed with a nice hot cuppa watching Sponge Bob Square Pants.
Says he’s not well enough to go home yet.

Hope you are on the mend sibeen

You are a real lucky bastard sibeen. Get better soon. You’ll be needing extra pillow fluffing after the cricket.

Probably the best way to do it.

Hope you’re fully stented and recovering well.

> 1505 hours – well since the paramedics have gone to all this trouble you may as well make it their while and decide to go into cardiac arrest.

That’s lucky.

Get out of RMH as quickly as you can. My mother picked up three hospital-acquired diseases while there.
