Everyone feared the worst when the goalkeeper threw himself to the ground and clutched his chest in pain. This weekend, in one of the most outstanding matches on Saturday, the scare of the season was experienced with a player who collapsed on the pitch Diego Martínez, about the 50th minute, threw himself onto the grass, grabbed his chest and asked for medical assistance. Immediately, the referee stopped the game, the medical team entered the field and reviewed the case. After a few minutes, the ambulance had to intervene before the eyes of the goalkeeper's teammates and rivals. In the end, everything was resolved and the goalkeeper asked to continue playing. Everything seems to indicate that it was not a heart problem, but a muscular issue in the chest area. The commitment continued normally and Deportivo Pasto won 2-1 over the 'pijao' team.

Former Coronation Street star Chris Fountain suffers mini-stroke at 35
October 10, 2022
The 35-year-old, who played Weatherfield’s Tommy Duckworth in the long-running soap, told the Daily Mirror he spent five days in a London hospital after waking up at home unable to speak properly in August. The actor told the newspaper doctors had discovered he had suffered a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) – known as a mini-stroke – after a blood clot lodged in his brain. Fountain said: “I woke up one morning and knew something wasn’t right. My mum called me and I just couldn’t get my words out. I started walking round my house looking at things and I could think what the word was, like television or fridge, but I couldn’t say it. I called 111 on my mum’s advice and they sent an ambulance for me, it was so scary. I felt stupid because I knew exactly what I wanted to say to the doctors, but I couldn’t get the words out, I was speaking like a toddler, I was really embarrassed.” The 35-year-old said he had broken down in tears when doctors informed him he had had a TIA. After several days of undergoing tests at a specialist stroke unit at the Royal London Hospital, medics had determined the actor had a hole in his heart which had caused the blood clot to travel to his brain, triggering the stroke.
Chelsea Women's manager Emma Hayes has emergency hysterectomy surgery as she battles endometriosis - with Blues boss temporarily stepping away from role to focus on recovery
October 13, 2022
Emma Hayes will take a step away from managing Chelsea Women as she recovers from emergency hysterectomy surgery.
In a statement released on Thursday, Hayes revealed she underwent surgery last week as part of her ongoing battle with endometriosis.
Hayes 'needs time and patience' in her recovery and she has confirmed that Denise Reddy will make on-field decisions in her absence, assisted by Paul Green.
'I'm now in recovery and will need time and patience to return to full health,' her statement read.
Endometriosis occurs when cells similar to those found in the lining of the womb occur elsewhere in the body — commonly within the pelvis.

‘Absolutely heartbreaking’: British man stranded in Greece after suffering five heart attacks on his birthday
October 11, 2022
Patrick “Patch” Kettleborough, 38, from Bolsover near Chesterfield, has not been able to return to the UK since he suffered two major and three small heart attacks less than a day after arriving in Malia, Crete, on Friday, September 23. Patch’s wife Lisa Kettleborough, 40, said she feared her husband of 18 years would die after he experienced severe chest pains that Saturday morning when they had breakfast with two friends. The couple, who manage the Blue Bell pub in Bolsover, travelled to Greece as a surprise to celebrate Patch’s 38th birthday, but Lisa said the holiday she planned quickly turned into an “absolutely heart-breaking” situation. Their children Jamie, 15, and Lily, 16, have since travelled to the country to see their father in hospital – but the couple are still stuck in Greece, unable to work, and are calling on the public for financial help.
Investigation after traveller suffers suspected cardiac arrest - and station defibrillators don't work
October 11, 2022
A rail passenger who witnessed a man suffer a sudden heart attack on the platform was shocked that none of the defibrillators were working. The eyewitness noticed the man who had luggage was waiting to board a train at Oxford station. He said: "He was waiting for the train with a friend, and he sort of collapsed and fell to the ground. Everyone went over to see if he was all right and then we realized that he wasn’t responding. A man started to give him CPR who I've now been told was a doctor so that was very lucky. The platform staff ran off to get the defibrillators. They brought both of them back and the doctor started to unpack them and then he obviously realized they had no power. He looked at it and said, there’s no power to this. Everybody could see that obviously the guy who was doing the CPR was a bit annoyed but he carried on and I guess now that was his medical training. Shortly after that the ambulance arrived and paramedics took over."
GWR, which operates Oxford Station, confirmed that a passenger suffered a suspected heart attack at the station and was assisted by a doctor prior to the arrival of the ambulance service. The train company has now launched an investigation into the incident which happened on Tuesday October 4. A spokesperson said: "While some of our stations host defibrillators, they are owned and maintained by a number of different charitable organisations. We are currently investigating the incident and reviewing the provision of defibrillators across our network."

'I nearly died of cardiac arrest after thinking it was muscle pain'
October 13, 2022
A Dublin dad has thanked his "hero" neighbours after they saved his life after experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest. Jonathan Doherty, 43, began feeling pain in his left arm after returning home from a 5K jog in June. Thinking it was just muscular pain from the run, the Artane man got into bed to rest. The dad-of-two said: "I called my wife Claire, telling her I didn’t feel too well. I didn’t realise it was a massive heart attack that would lead to cardiac arrest. [She] called the ambulance service, they ran through some of the symptoms and at the same time they put a call through to the first responders." Husband-wife duo Deirdre and Jonathan Roughneen were seconds away from leaving home for a cycle when they got the call to attend Jonathan’s home in Kiltale, Co Meath. Jonathan said: "They started CPR and did about 10 minutes, with two shocks of the defibrillator, which brought me back. The next strong memory I had was being in the back of an ambulance on the way to the Mater Hospital." Johnathan said he wouldn't have survived if it weren't for the quick-thinking pair. He added: "I’m here today because of the actions of people who are heroes." Jonathan, who is now recovering with two stents in his heart, plans to train as a first responder. A total of 2,906 people suffered cardiac arrest outside hospital settings in Ireland in 2021 – 74% of which happened in the home.

A 2-year old has a feckin' heart attack????? This is way beyond insanity. But the gutter press and their sponsors (GAVI, Welcome, Gates, WHO etc) have somehow managed to almost 'normalize' these events. And even when terrible things happen to the family members of Cult Covidian, they are still in denial. They simply have to be possessed by some other dark life form as this is not a typical human condition.... not by a royal mile.
Damn. That British dude is 38, married for 18 years, with a 15 year old and a 16 year old. Taking a vacation in Greece.
Aside from getting vaccinated, he was doing life right.
