HighPitch Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 So im in the garage looking for a tool and he comes out of my house into the garage. He is shaking his head like something is really wrong. I says “oh no whats it going to cost now???” And he replies, “I dont feel good” so he sits in front of my golf cart project and i offer water which he accepts. I go i to the house for a sec and return with water. When i open the door he is now slumped in front of the cart on the floor clutching his chest and breathing hard. I says, “ dude! You dont look too good imma call for an ambulance what u think?” He replies “ call” So I call. Then I tell him help is on the way and he is pretty much clutching his chest and cant speak and taking super long breaths. Then he starts sweating like crazy. Im freaking t f out. I picked up his head and put a pillow underneath and give him nonsensical verbal encouragement like “dont worry dude you pay your taxes let these ambulance ****ers help you out. Well be having a beer and laughing in wednesday about this…” Meanwhile i dont even know his name. So the ambulance comes. They ripped his short open like on 1 adam 12 and start to shock him right there on my dirty garage floor. Right next to my golf cart. They put him on a stretcher and off he goes. The other guy went back to take his shock machi g and i asked him wtf how is he and he goes “ Hes in really really bad shape. If you waited 15 more minutes to call hed be dead” Damn guys life is short i was so pissed off about the bill but now im like stunned and do t care about anything 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPitch Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Update: alfred is in icu. He had a “widowmaker”, a 90% blockage in his aorta. He is ok but worried about his cat. They also found a 9mm mass in his lung. He told the boss he needs to come finish my job.

TuscanyTile2 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I was convinced this was a joke and was waiting for the punch line. That's really scary. Hope he's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Sounds like they cardioverted him. What FD? Good on them for getting pads on him so quickly. OK, Public Service Announcement: TAKE a CPR class!! Everyone of you! Early recognition saves lives! Just giving that guy a chewable aspirin while waiting for Medics to arrive would have done a lot. Seriously. Glad he made it, but please, ESPECIALLY if you have kids... TAKE A CPR CLASS!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
