This is nuts.
My wife and I have to move to some other country that doesn't financially rape its citizens.
Denmark is shown as the least corrupt nation but I don't speak a word of their language.

Its sad how unbearably true this can be. My wife had a allergic reaction to some antibiotics one night and we called 911. Turned out to be a $6000 E.R. bill, $2500 Ambulance Bill, $1500 Fireman bill and so on...

Its ridiculous to even think that you cant have an emergency situation without getting reemed.

The last two times I have mowed the lawn Ive had what I can only describe as severe indigestion. Never had indigestion like this before.

First time I had eaten some really strong white onion and blamed it on the onions. The second time...I cant remember what I had eaten but it wasnt anything strong or harsh like onion.

Pains in my chest.....couldnt breathe....I kept belching till it was over...

I was scared the second time...but I was so intent on getting my mowing and other things done before leaving town I just kept on mowing and felt fine after the initial belching.

Im bad about putting off care for myself.... Have not been to the doctor in over a year but I am going to make an appointment cause I dont want to lose him and I need to start back on my blood pressure medications which have run out...many months ago.

I think I have a fractured ankle right now and I need to get it looked at but Ive been putting off getting an appointment cause of work.... we are not extremely busy but we have some things that I''ll have to be involved in.

Anyhow...Im a dumbass.... Probably a lot of folks like me out there...

The bartender told me that the guy finally went in for tests. In any case, he hasn't been back.

I've heard about that aspirin business, but you should go off of it if you have surgery scheduled.

I think I almost had a heart attack when the Bengals beat the Steelers but I was too drunk to care.

Honestly though, I have high blood pressure and am 28 and it pisses me off and is scary. It runs in the family and there is no history in either side of family of heart attack, stroke, or anything else.....just high B.P. but I know I can always be the first. I would call 100%, my baby girl and wife are too important for me to just give up.

Obviously, the dude was on call.....................

Well he obviously didn't have health insurance. If I didn't have health insurance I would rather die than pay on the bill their going to send me for calling them for the rest of my miserable life.

While your trusting in God to let you know whether or not to call I'm going to call!

I am a former medic trained and certified ACLS (Advanced/Cardiac/Life/Support), I and doctors both will tell you the first and most common sympton of a heart attack is death!! So if you get an opportunity to call 911 do it!!!!!!!!!!!! No matter what your age keep a bottle of cheap baby asprin in the truck, less than 2.00 can save your life or someone else's. Just my 0.02 I will make the call every time and not think twice.

The answer must have been "No" because he didn't call.

Ok, Who, since you say that this is a true story, I'll assume that this is your story. I won't say that you are a fool, but I will say that you don't value life much? GO GET HELP!!! I had 3 stents put in my heart 3 years ago and lost a 29 year old nephew to a heart attack 4 years ago. Even if this shortness of breath has passed GO GET CHECKED OUT!!!! Don't f^^k around with this stuff, it will kill you!!!

All I can say is trust in God. He'll let you know whether to call or not to call.

I guess the questions could be:
would you have called 911?
is/was he a fool?
what are your thoughts about such a person?
do you know anyone like this?
other comments?

As to the comments I did get, you guys are good.

he was going to call
but first he had to light up a smoke

With out knowing a myriad of decisions running through his head at that moment, I Guess he knew His number was up and was o.k. with it. May he be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows he dead.

The feeling passed and now you feel better.

All I get is that the man was happy with his life and didnt fear death at that moment in time. He died.

He was also alone.
