[QUOTE="roaddog1m, post: 365931, member: 21260"] Good thread and good job Tank! Not only know what to do if you see a heart attack, learn the symptoms of one because many heart attack sufferers don't deny that it's actually a heart attack. It might be up to you to make the call for them since many times they wait too long to make the call. Being out here in the sticks though, I don't even know what the heck a "Deer camp" is. I've heard of them but never really seen one. I guess that's where city guys go to hunt. LoL I'm not kidding, don't even know where they have those things! Anyway, on to my main point. I stopped by my folks place one afternoon in November a few years back and Dads Suburban was gone. Mom was cooking spaghetti and asked if I was staying around to eat. Of course I said I would and I started to take off my coat. As I did, I asked where the "old man" was and Mom said that he took his shotgun and left. Probably goose hunting. I was looking out the window and thinking how it might be a good day to go out and blast a goose before dark. It was about 15 degrees and the lakes would be freezing up soon. I knew where he would most likely be, so I fired up my old Jeep and headed out to where I thought I might find him. Well, I found him laying in the ditch. He had suffered a stroke and couldn't even get up. It was very lucky that I went looking for him since it was cold enough that he would had died in short order. I picked him up and carried him to his Suburban then grabbed his shotgun and stuff and headed for the nearest hospital. He recovered from that stroke to hunt again but he didn't go out by himself after that. I always went with him. I miss him now though. It can happen to any of us and Tank makes a great point. Be prepared! I carry some baby aspirins in my outfit all the time just in case me or someone I run across is starting to have a heart attack. Not a lot you can do for a stroke but get them to a hospital fast. Tom can someone tell me what a "deer camp" is? [/QUOTE]
