I was shocked to hear of his passing yesterday. He was a solid actor and he seemed like a decent human being. Always a ready smile and hearty laugh. May he rest in peace.

God bless his family and lovedones for he will be missed.

He had a heart attack back in July, and did not recover. Sad, sad loss. Only the good die young. He was 54.

It really make you realize that even if you are IN a hospital you have NO FREAKING CHANCE. Doctors couldn't do anything and HE WAS IN A HOSPITAL FOR TWO MONTHS....

Don't give much hope to the rest of us poor schlubs...

With numbers, I can make Wishimay's dread of American hospitals more intense:

Quote:
. . . researchers found that as many as 40,500 critically ill patients in the United States may die annually when clinicians fail to diagnose hidden life-threatening conditions such as heart attack and stroke. The unexpectedly high frequency of deadly misdiagnosis in hospital intensive care units or ICUs was "surprising and alarming," said Dr. Bradford Winters, the lead author of the study. - www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/08/the-alarming-rate-of-errors
-in-the-icu/261650/

Patients with two deadly medical conditions are getting only one diagnosed and not the other until too late. "These patients are under a microscope, and yet clinicians still missed these diagnoses. . . . Clearly the human component," Dr. Bradford Winters said, "how the staff absorbs the information and improved teamwork and communication is crucial too."

No, I knew that...It's been said on med shows for years that if you were to run the big tests that most people have at least three major latent heath issues, but that docs will ignore anything that's not immediate, because if they were to treat all of them- statistically those people die QUICKER than if they leave you alone...

That's a big argument for "If you can ignore a problem, you are probably better off doing so"
