Hello,

First off I do *NOT* insult your family members and it's so unprofessional.
I would appreciate it if you would do the same to me.  If you happen to
disagree with me then speak your disagreement and lets move on.  What you
posted is way beyond the realm of normal healthy behavior.

Moving on to a lighter note.  During PE the right side of the heart shuts
down so in a sense the term 'heart attack' would be close but not 100%
accurate.  To most 'non-medical' person they would just say 'heart attack'
and move on.  Also from what you stated there is no proof of ANY form that
it was a direct scuba injury as these injuries can and DOES occur  in
everyday activity.  Not saying that it was or was not caused by diving but
you need to furnish evidence either way if we are to believe your claim ;)

Ed

Ed, I have not seen anything as funny as you since Rennaker posted to the
old Cavers list . You are a real treat. Call the Medical Examiner on a
conference call with Mount and talk to him. Tell him you went to your third
grade teacher who is also your sister and your aunt and she got on the
internet and looked you up some fancy stuff to send out, and you want to
straighten him out on how to figure the cause of death ( other than by a
double violation of Rule Number One AND diving an Inspiration while failing
to carry a shovel).

Maybe we can get an instant replay of Mount's post " no this really was a
heart attack". Too funny - caught again.

Hello,

>From the american heart assoc.

"Patients may present with clinical features of minor or major PE. Patients
with minor PE can have one or a combination of the following symptoms:
transient shortness of breath, sharp localized chest pain aggravated by
inspiration (pleuritic-type pain), and hemoptysis. The clinical features of
minor PE are nonspecific and can also occur in patients with viral or
bacterial pulmonary infections, postoperative atelectasis and pneumonia,
acute bronchitis, and musculoskeletal chest wall pain. Esophageal spasm can
cause severe chest pain that is not usually aggravated by breathing but may
be confused with PE. Pleuritic-type chest pain may accompany pericarditis or
immune pleuritis. In addition, patients with a past history of VTE may
suffer anxiety attacks that are manifested as shortness of breath and
occasionally as chest pain. These patients often have fleeting attacks of
sharp chest pain that last for seconds or a feeling that they cannot take a
deep breath."

I can see how it could be mistaken for a heart attack.  OH BTW you need NOT
be diving to kill over with this cause :)  I would recomend that you lighten
up about this whole thing.

Ed
