An eye-opening story, pagandialysis. I know this is off topic but similiar in how important such events can be to some people. For instance, my mother didn't learn that she had congestive heart failure until she happened to be working to help set up a healthcare convention. By mid-morning, she was sick and feeling weak. A nurse attending the convention checked her heartbeat, blood pressure and her blood sugar and sure enough, they were out of whack. Rushed her to a doctor who performed an EKG. She had suffered a "silent heart attack". By that week, she met with a wonderful Cardiologist and spent the next several years enjoying better health.
