Dr. Ron’s Heart Attack Celebration

My LadieseditEvery year about this time, I become a bit meloncholy as I am reminded that on August 7th, 1988 at 2:10 PM on a Sunday afternoon I suffered a heart attack that required a Life-Flight helicopter ride to the Cleveland Clinic.  Baloon angioplasty was just coming into vogue and that was the procedure that saved my life.  Quick action on my part via my differential diagnosis and refusing to deny what was happening to me kept the heart damage to minimal.

It is at this time of the year I am keenly aware of this gift we call life.  I am thankful to GOD and to my family and close friends and clients.  Allow me to make that acknowledgement right now as I have learned that “silent gratitude isn’t worth very much to anyone.”  I am thankful to be alive for the past 21 years and I have two delightful and beautiful daughters thanks to my amazing wife.

    I am also grateful that you are here as I have learned many things from you via our ‘working relationship/friendship’. Your family is very lucky!
