Love the beach Posted January 26, 2014 #201 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He was swimming in our community pool and came to the side saying he had chest pain and didn't feel well. The life guard called the 24/7 nurse we have in this over 55 community and she took vitals and called an ambulance and we were in the hospital in about 15 minutes. He was also complaining about bad back pain and evidently chect and back pain are signs of this. The ER doctor ordered a CAT scan which showed the dissected aorta. Since all the normal tests for a heart attack came back negative since he didn't have a heart attack, this terrific ER doctor made the diagnosis. Wow...he was one lucky guy! We don't realize that our lives can change "in the blink of an eye". Wishing him a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
