yeah.. that stuff is no joke. heart things should always be treated as "maybe I should check this out".. I can attest to that one.. glad to hear he's ok..

I'm glad he's OK. Most of us in hospitals are glad for every person who comes in to be checked out like this (except for the few who really make a habit of it, but that's rare.) And from what I've seen at work & in my own family, the guys are pretty good about coming in- it's people like my mother who didn't feel well enough to go to the hospital when her BP was 70/40 that I worry about. (Med reaction, nothing serious but the attitude!)

Think of all the animals you've ever heard about
like rhinoc'ruses and tigers cats and mink
There are lots of funny animals in all this world
But have you ever seen a panther that is pink?

Think!

A panther that is positively pink,

Well here he is, the pink panther,
The rinky-dink panther,
Isn't he a panther ever so pink?

He really is a groovy cat,
and what a gentleman, a scholar, what an acrobat !

He's in the pink - the pink panther
The rinky-dink panther,
and it's as plain as your nose,
that he's the one and only, truly original,
Panther-pink (panther) from head to toes !

Well, he did put up with the discomfort all week, then sat at the doctor's office because he got there an hour before they opened, but yes, eventually he got around to getting it checked out The funny/sad thing is that his dad sort of did the same thing a few years back. Noticed some pain while playing golf, but that wasn't going to make him end his round early. Much later on a doctor noticed scarring on the heart and he figured that's what all that pain was about Silly people.

If I ever have a son, I'm going to name him Martin Chuzzlewit. Oh sure, he'll hate me, but I'll still smile a little, even if only on the inside, every time I hear it. I'll go to parent-teacher conferences and they'll say "are you Martin Chuzzlewit's father?", and I'll smile a little smile and say "yes, yes I am." He'll be screaming at me at the apogee of teen angst, "why the hell did you name me Martin Chuzzlewit, you vicious b*stard?" And I'll have my serious grown up face on the outside, and I'll tell him not to call his father a b*stard, but on the inside I'll be smiling because his name is Martin Chuzzlewit.

My kid sister teaches 1st grade in Amherst, MA. She always has a student or two with curious names. Those, I remembered. In NH, it is legal to kill your parents when you reach 18 if they named you something bizarre like Harley Davidson or Muffy.

there was a poor child in one of my boy's classes named Atom Crumpecker.Sounds like a likely homicide defense to me............

I once had a blind date.........Bambi Savage................hair lip and all...............
