One of those "never figured it could happen to you" things. Background-- March 2013 had heart attack a block from ER door and went into full arrest. Got zapped back to NSR and got 2 stints put in through my wrist.
Anyway, had follow up appointment with cardic surgeon who did that. FACC cert and all that stuff but looks about 12 or so. I was wearing a home made paracord bracelet. One of those that can be untwisted in about 4 seconds to give you 8 or so feet of cord. Doc saw it and asked-- what is that, one of those magnetic bracelets? Replied, no, its paracord and you can unweave it in a few seconds.
He was interested as can be-- whats paracord? Explained and took bracelet off and gave it a pull and had the line.
He was enthralled and wondered what it was for. Basic explanation. He wondered why and I told him I am one of those people who think its always a good idea to have an extra bit of supplies in the kitchen cabinet and box of ammo in the gun cabinet. Told him if ever SHTF in this country he should bring wife, kids, dog, cat and every bandage and script he had in the office and head to my place.
He said no problem he has all the script sheets we could ever need. Told him that I was talking about a situation where all the drug stores would be closed and looted a day or so past. He said ah, yeah, I been reading and wondering about that and we should have lunch sometime.
I said that would be an excellent idea.
Imagine getting a FACC certed cardiac surgeon in your group. Methinks that would be a good idea.
