Threads morph....even the most well intentioned.
Excuse me for getting off track. I'll save it for later.

IN THE SPIRIT OF MEMORIALZING STAN


Allow me to share my little story about Stan. We met him just a year ago on a fishing trip to his hood. I will remember the man every time I go to the freezer because he taught us how to properly preserve our catch using plastic grocery bags and vacumm packer. Thanks to him our frozen fish and meats stay much fresher even after being in the box for a year.

Thanks for that Stan. May you rest in peace amigo.

A THOUSAND apologies!!!


In my perhaps inconsiderate zealousness, I am sorry if I took away from the respect of Mr. Stan, whom I did not know but in any case feel he needs a memorial as well. Rest In Peace and condolences to the family.

This has really become a memorial thread for the man. I think we should respect that and allow it to continue. I suspect that's the point that rdrrm8e is making. He's probably known Surfdoc longer than anyone else on this board.

It's like showing up at a funeral and announcing to everyone that "......you know, he might have been saved if only............."

This is as close to a wake or a funeral for Surfdoc that most of us will get. Let's respect the mourners for a bit, here. The lessons to be learned will have plenty of time later.

thank you Dr for your insights and I agree whole heartedly with at least trying to improve the chances of survival in case of a heart attack.

Too bad Surfdoc wont be around to help make much needed improvements in emergency situations but he would be so very glad that his death might lead to saving others in the future. He would have been the logical person to work this machine if we can get one here. I would also like to try to get oxygen into the ambulance.


I will bring a portable O2 set up in Mar. and work on an AED. We will dedicate it to Sr. Stan

I was a bit surprised that the doctor didnt bring him into emergency...she said there was nothing they could do and I understand it is a rule they wont bring someone who's heart has stopped into the emergency...seemed so strange to me.


never met surfdoc, but he seemed to be a good online pugilist. RIP!

re arteroschlerosis, heart disease, etc.; yes, an AED may help restart a stalled heart, but you still need good cardiac care quickly after a reboot by AED! problem with rural areas in mexico is that hightech cardiac care is not in rural areas. i suppose if you are going to live outside of a USA urban metro region with good ER care, then you best eat well, exercise and watch your cholesterol and make sure your arteries stay soft!

maybe, as a "sign" of respect, one of the BA street signs which currently say S/N (sin nombre) could be renamed to "Stan"?

Shari,
Even though I cannot be there in person, I will be beside you holding your hand and wiping your tears.

I have said this to you before, but I truly want you to know that from the bottom of my heart I thank you for being the woman that you are. A person could not ask for a better friend in this life, or the next.
