Here's to you Sammy Rubin... We probably experience a thousand truly memorable events in our short lives. A few of mine include my brief high school friendship with Sammy Rubin. Sammy, which is what he called himself before he became famous, was truly the funniest guy I knew. I think I’m witty, but this guy could make someone on their deathbed bust a gut. We met while we were both writers and on-air reporters for Student News, the broadcast produced by the Los Angeles Unified School District that aired on a local UHF station in the 1970s. My fondest memories of that huckster were that he would take me aside at dull parties and say, “let’s fight.” It was pretending, of course. But he would scream and holler and we’d roll around on the ground like we were going to kill each other. It was wonderful fun. When a crowd surrounded us and pleaded for us to stop, Sammy would stand up, pick me up by the hand and give me a big hug. We would laugh like lunatics and the duped partygoers would sneer and utter something along the lines of “oh it’s just those guys.” Sammy graduated high school before me, went off to college and we never talked again. But I have the fondest memory of the guy. Sammy passed away this week. I will never forget his effervescent charm and wicked sense of humor.

This doesn't explain too much of what did him in. When you're older, you have to get a physical every year. If the doctor see's something wrong on your EKG or your stress test, he may send you to a cardiologist, especially if you have risk factors like family history. He will prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs or blood pressure meds if you need to improve your numbers, as well as diet and exercise advice. It would be interesting to know if his physicals indicated any trouble.

@daryldehart8875 2 ай бұрын

I can agree with most of your points and I have had several heart attacks with normal EKG’s. Walked into the Emergency Room with all normal vitals and the giveaway was my blood enzymes were through the roof. The highest level the ER Cardiologist has ever seen for a patient still functioning and working a 12 hour day. There are symptoms and warnings that I ignored and blamed on indigestion from the prior day. 2nd time I suffered a H/A the stent broke in the center of the vessel and the vessel collapsed.
