Gregrn43: i'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

If a person has chest pains they need to get it checked out ASAP. Those at risk for a stroke or heart attack should take Ecotrin daily.

Problems come when some guys don't know where their heart is; no, i'm not kidding. A Sergeant Major i worked for had chest pains for years. Finally one morning i took him to the emergency room at the 121st Evac hospital in Seoul. The doctor hooked up his machine and everything went tilt. The doctor asked S/Maj. where the pain was and why he thought it was not serious. S/Maj. said: "In the center of my chest, my heart is on the left side". Another doctor walked by and was hailed by the first doctor: "Hey ,John; we have another ------- S/Maj. who don't know where his heart is".
