A Chiang Mai hospital increases chance of surviving heart attack

[snoop1130]

 

Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital has implemented an operational measure which increases the chance of survival in critically ill heart-attack patients.

 

The hospital, part of Chiang Mai University’s (CMU) Faculty of Medicine, is the first and only medical facility in the country to integrate its catheterisation lab (Cath Lab) and Cardiac MRI.

 

“At other hospitals, they are in separate zones or even on different floors,” Asst Prof Dr Pannipa Suwannasom, an interventional cardiologist and faculty member said.

A heart attack after age 70 is nature's way of saying, "It's time to go."  However, some people want to live to be in their 100s. 



Gawd, the thought of being packed into an aged, broken-down, decrepit, meat-sack body.  Kissinger has handlers to help him walk around.

No thanks.  A heart attack is a relatively quick way to go, and we all are going to go.

Totally agree. i am 76, and if I get like that old man, a few meds and a bottle of Single Malt will be my ticket out.

Or maybe jump on a rented moped in Samui!
