MSU should still play the bowl game whatever happens. Leach would want them to and I bet he would be upset if they didn’t. It also gives an oppportunity to do a tribute to him at the game with HIS team.

Can you expand on this a bit? What type of doctor? Anything specific you ask them to check?

They will play the bowl, why are you even discussing they won’t?

For some playing in the game, for his memory, can be powerful.
100%
A huge group of people (some invited by family and some who just went own their own, not even knowing we'd be there) went to dinner after my hubs funeral at his favorite Mexican restaurant. We laughed and joked and talked about him and drank plenty of "his" style of margarita (top shelf with a Grand Marnier floater) and raised our glasses to him in a big toast. I'm sure plenty of people would think it was weird or something, but for my family and friends, it as perfect. It felt like him and like he was there with us.
One thing I've learned about grieving since doing it 8 years ago is there is no right or wrong. There just is. My family isn't a sit around and cry type. I bet a lot of those players are either.

i know you asked him and not me, but I go every 6 months since my heart attack as well.
I see a cardiologist, and they do a full blood workup.
pretty much you name it, they check for it.
they can even tell from blood work how well the "pump function" of your heart is.

Honest question: if one were to be over 40, have a family history of heart issues (blockages, attacks, open heart surgeries) and hasn't been to a doctor in 20 years, where would he start?

Go see your primary care physician and get a physical, then your PCP will direct you.

This is awful. Prayers to him and his family.

It is done for military memorials so absolutely. You also need to put a flag or something on the ship for him and maybe even name it for Leach for the game.
But yes something like a 7 gun salute from the pirate ship just seems to appropriate.

By finding a primary care doctor in your area that accepts whatever insurance you have. I would assume a new patient is going to have labs ordered and you might get more once you explain your medical history.

Look for GPs in your area, set up an appointment.

check w/ local hospital and see if they offer free cardiac screening, if not, find a family med doc or internist to refer you to cardiology.

Amateur medical opinion:
Get a good reference on an internist and get a full physical. They will tell you what to do from there.

Cardiologist for sure. You could go to a general internal medicine doc, but they're only really good for basic bloodwork. Skip seeing one when he/she will just end up sending you to a cardiologist.
You want to get an ECG/EKG, stress test, ultrasound, and a more robust bloodwork panel.
ETA: I'm 42 with an ugly cardio family history. Genetics is not in my favor. I see my cardiologist once a year and am on meds to help keep my bloodwork numbers down. I'm not a fatty, but I'm also not a marathon runner.

Nah, only an echo can do that.
Ultrasound guided echo is noninvasive and can be done by a cardiologist in an outpatient setting for at risk patients, though.

I didn't post that BUT I go to a cardiac prevention center in Lafayette .. she runs normal CBC, Chem 20, A1C, Thyroid, hormone panel, chol panel, C-reactive protein (indicator of inflammation), Homocystein (high shown to tie in with heart disease), vit D, other inflammation and oxidation panesl, cardiac muscle function tests, and some other fatty acid balance tests.
She's a NP who used to work with cardiologists .. she wanted to do prevention BUT they wanted to fix what they didn't prevent. So she branched out and found a cardiologist who supported her mission.
If I die tomorrow, I'll know that it was just God's time for me .. I"ll have done what I can.
Also, I have but haven't read yet The Heart Attack Gene. She recommended it.

I said this a few months ago about him. Mike Leach is an ALPHA. People go all wobbly because they think it means narcissistic buff Chad who drives a Porsche and bangs 12 girls a week. No, he's ALPHA (or whatever term you prefer) because he lives life on his terms. We should all be so lucky to be as in command of ourselves and live life as honestly as he does. In that respect, he is who we should all aspire to be. I am praying for a miracle here people, and I know you all are too.
