In case of death, call 000

There’s some sort of heart attack awareness campaign going on at the moment … here are the signs, don’t be embarrassed to admit you’re dying, just call an ambulance, that kind of thing. Naturally I’m morbidly curious, both of my parents having died of heart attacks when they were less than five years older than I am right now.

Anyway the ABC did their usual community health spot on the news tonight. They have one just about every night, I figure health researchers are so keen to enjoy their 15 minutes of being called ‘experts’ by Sophie Scott it never occurs to them to say no or charge money, so it fills a gap in the schedule for virtually zero resources.

Tonight’s white coat told us what the warning signs were for a heart attack. Chest pain … feelings of breathlessness … panic attack … unconsciousness …

Unconsciousness? Who would of thunk it? Anyways I’ve made a note to self … if struck by sudden unexplained unconsciousness, dial 000.
