Heart Attacked

Heart Attacked

Early yesterday morning there was  a piece of shocking news....
A little boy I know had just lost his loving father that morning..

Admitted into hospital earlier at 2 am for a slight difficulty in breathing.....
Doctor in attendance declared a lung infection was all he was suffering....

But somehow his blood pressure fell and a heart attack happened...
He never made it, declared dead in ICU wad 9.20 am this morning....

Now the doctors let out he has 3 major blockages in his heart...
Expressing surprise that he has been up on his feet up to this year...

This  poor departed friend is only a sprightly  50 years old in age...
Goes to show how fragile life can be and how sudden Death comes calling...

 Lesson to be learnt, even as one should be there laying in ICU care...
A sudden heart attack can happen and make a mockery of intensive care...

If one is as unfortunate as the deceased so described as above...
Finding out that there are multiple  blockages are useless facts too late..

When doctors and medical care has failed miserably as a matter of fact....
All that remains is a valuable lesson for the living and the worried ones .....

Have a checkup of your heart condition before any things drastic happens...!
