    over in a heart beat

    mate over the road was mowing his grass this morning and idled the mower back to move his car so he could do the front section of the yard, hopped into the drivers seat and passed away before he turned the key in the ignition...

    his poor missus came around to see why he hadnt moved the car and found him dead..

    it was a couple of weeks shy of them both retiring.

    very sad.....

    Very unpleasant, but better than some of the alternatives. It is never easy when relatively young people die, and it puts my family into perspective (Dad nearing 70).

    Single massive heart attack, thats the way I want to go.

    Just hope that the paramedics and my emergency department colleagues don't get a hold of you after that. You could linger in a vegetative state for months.

    Don't get me wrong - I am all for reviving people, but only when there is quality of life.

    Still it is very sad for the family!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
