Some people it’s genetic.

Possibly. Even though Saban has "chilled", so to speak, in recent years, I don't think I could have worked like he supposedly did for the first 75 percent of his coaching career without stressing eating and having my blood pressure skyrocket to a systolic of >200.

There's very probably a hidden genetic component to Saban's cardiovascular success so far.

Damn, this really sucks. Hope the Pirate can pull through and enjoy a few more years with friends and family

Point is if you’re around a person going into arrest you can administer CPR during that 10 minutes to keep the blood and oxygen moving so they don’t go brain dead.

I agree I meant in this situation.

I have post op stitches in now. They haven’t said shite, I assumed they will fall out eventually

Better check! If you can see them, they shouldn't be absorbable!!!

beautiful post sir



I'll bet your smoker grandparents were physically active


a 63 year old guy told me a few years ago, this doctor said, "Do you want to keep working, or do you want to live?"

he retired then he said. But he was supply chain guy behind a computer in a chair, and decently fat and out of shape.

"working" can be any number of things. Sitting behind a computer and inhaling triple cheeseburgers and getting paid high dollar is different than retiring from stress related shite and hoeing a garden and raising goats.

The surgeon cut them before removing lung tubes

think what he’s saying is it’s bullshite to come and say “Oh God, if what I’m hearing is true….” I mean we’re on an anonymous message board here. Put your cards on the table. If you’re right, you’re right. Congrats, I guess. If you’re not, whatever. It’s not going to change the outcome. But tip toe’ing around it is a bitch move.

What he’s hearing has been posted unless it’s something different

If you aren't getting good, high quality CPR immediately after the arrest in 10 minutes or less it's all over. If we get there somewhere around that 10 minute mark we'll probably get your heart started back and you might even start breathing again but we got back a house plant. You're never going to wake up.

Yeah a friend had to be the one to say stop with her father after this happened. It is a supremely shitty place to find yourself, and I feel for anyone who has had to do it.

If you have the mod on state boards saying he may not make it then I’d assume it’s bad

Correct.
