Is a medical emergency a "Disaster".. Depends on your point of view.

From my point of view if YOU have a heart attack.. that is a Medical emergency.

If the entire room gets food poisioning: that is a disaster

From your point of view: They are both Disasters.

It's all about POV.

Me: I missed out on the heart attack.. Got to the ER while I could still walk,,, Missed out on the pleasures of de-filibration for the most part.

(Congestive heart failure complicated with reduced blood flow and arterial flutter, Medication cleared the blockage and the CHF (For a week I could pass anything save a restroom) and they did a "Cardio Conversion" which is a low wattage cousin to De-Fib to knock out the flutter, then an ablation (Genuine heart burn) to prevent it's return... Still, nothing even close to a full blown heart attack. The result.. I can now do many things that a year ago I could not.. Much better health, I'm guessing about 10 years added to life minimum.)
