This morning, a 36 or 37 year old man died of a heart attack at work. Most likely dead before he hit the floor. His family stated that heart problems run in the family and that he had been having chest pains for the last few days...but refused to go to the hospital because he did not want to risk losing his job...which he just started on Friday. I don't know if trading your life for a job that pays just over $8 an hour is such a good trade.
My friend Jill....a gal who works in the sanitation department...was the one who found him...and was holding his hand and talking to him as he took his last couple of breaths. She is way shaken up! Will give her a call in a few minutes to see how she is doing.
Folks....if you have any possible indication that you are having a heart attack....get to the hospital immediately.....don't delay treatment. If that young man had gone to the hospital, he might still be alive.
