How incredibly stupid is this?
Edited on Sun Jul-19-09 09:38 PM by Brigid
I had a heart attack at work back in January 2008. When I felt the chest pains, I didn't know what it was (I was only 49), but I did know I'd never felt anything like it. I told the idiot forman to call 911. Other workers, including one who had had three heart attacks, were hollering the same thing. Instead, the co-worker I rode to work with took me to the hospital. I did not go back after I recovered primarily because I didn't trust them. I mean, there are upwards of a thousand people working there -- is the possibility of a medical emergency really so hard to imagine? I just talked to the co-worker who took me to the hospital, and she says another co-worker recently had a heart attack there, and once again an ambulance was not called and someone else took her to the hospital. This time, though, the person died. Now her family is considering a lawsuit. In other words, they didn't learn a thing from what happened to me. How unbelievably stupid is that? :wtf:

1. That's pretty fucking stupid, and how sad for the family!
Glad to hear that you came through yours okay, in spite of the foreman's idiocy!
