[QUOTE="Star*, post: 341642, member: 4964"] Witz, I'm sorry you had to see what you did, but I'm in the same group as you. A? I'm not a doctor, nurse or paramedic - MOVE on....no gawking and let someone do their work unless you're giving comfort. B? If it were someone in your family (and it has been in mine several times) the gawkers make me NUTS because the people who CAN do something and NEED to get through have to waste valuable time begging for GAWKERS to move so they can get to the person who needs aid. Few things irritate me more than gawkers, rubberneckers and crowds that gather who can do nothing but block production. Nine auto-crashes personally? I know a little about gawkers...GO HOME. As far as blood clots? My oldest son Kary died from an injury he sustained riding a bull (with vest) caused a blood clot to form in his lungs. They put him on Coumidin. When the clot broke, it left his lung and traveled to his brain, burst and there was blood everywhere. He turned blue and gray from lack of oxygen and literally drown in his own blood. I think the term is rails. (not sure, don't remember) The EMT's revived him, took him to the ICU and kept him alive for 4 days on machines. I think a part of him was semi-conscience; but had he lived it was more than likely he would not have had a good quality of life. His brain was deprived oxygen too long and doctors didn't give us much hope. We took him off the machines and he slipped away after a brief struggle. I now have a DNR in place for myself for such instances. No one in your family should ever have to make those kinds of decisions about YOUR life. The ICU staff put us through hell on earth about - he's awake, no it's just nerves, go home, come back now...too much. Today is the one year anniversary of burying Steven. Kary has been gone over 11 years. Death isn't something anyone likes to deal with, but it's a part of life that no one can escape. While this is probably a difficult post for some, it's a good reminder to get your house in order. You just never know - just like your lady in the grocery. I'm sorry for her family. Hope you're okay too. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
