Det cirkulerar för närvarande mail om hur man skall göra om man får en hjärtattack. Mailen finns på både svenska och engelska. Om ni skulle få ett dylikt, snälla skicka det inte vidare och meddela gärna sändaren att skicka ut en dementi. I mailet hänvisas till en studie från Rochester General Hospital och de har följande att säga:
Important Notice: 'How to Survive a Heart Attack When Alone'
Hundreds of people around the country have been receiving an e-mail message entitled "How to Survive a Heart Attack When Alone." This article recommends a procedure to survive a heart attack in which the victim is advised to repeatedly cough at regular intervals until help arrives.
The source of information for this article was attributed to ViaHealth Rochester General Hospital. This article is being propagated on the Internet as individuals send it to friends and acquaintances - and then those recipients of the memo send it to their friends and acquaintances, and so on.
We can find no record that an article even resembling this was produced by Rochester General Hospital within the last 20 years. Furthermore, the medical information listed in the article can not be verified by current medical literature and is in no way condoned by this hospital’s medical staff. Also, both The Mended Hearts, Inc., a support organization for heart patients, and the American Heart Association have said that this information should not be forwarded or used by anyone.
Please help us combat the proliferation of this misinformation. We ask that you please send this e-mail to anyone who sent you the article, and please ask them to do the same.
Sincerely,
Rich Sensenbach
Web Development Coordinator
ViaHealth Rochester General Hospital

A bullet may have your name on it, but a grenade is adressed "to whom it may concern".
Everything happens for a reason. But sometimes that reason is that you are stupid and make bad decisions.
