My Best Friend is dead...

[Oilwellian]

114. My deepest sympathies, AsahinaKimi

We share a very deep sorrow. My youngest son who was only 29, also recently died in his sleep from a heart attack. I understand completely your shock and disbelief over the loss of your friend.

We recently learned my son reached out for medical help when he experienced chest pains and a numb left arm, several months before he died. The hospital, and subsequently his regular doctor, dropped the ball and didn't perform the necessary tests that would have revealed he had an enlarged heart and needed treatment. He became a part of the gross statistic in this country where nearly 100,000 Americans die each year due to medical negligence. I will be posting his story soon in the hopes it will raise awareness.

Much peace to you and realize it is only time that will heal your pain. If you need an understanding ear, I am here for you.
