Here's the story: Two days ago my girlfriend's father had a severe attack of some sort which, according to other medical personnel I have talked to, gives all the symptoms of a heart attack (pain in the chest, neck, under the jaw bone, and temples, numb arms and legs, severe difficulty breathing, etc). He is also a borderline diabetic. The problem is that we can't get him to go see a doctor. He realizes that it may be his heart, but he says that he will be able to tell next time he cuts the lawn. He says that since he feels pretty good today there is no need to see a doctor. I don't know if he is proud of being stubborn or if he is scared that the doctor might really find something wrong. In any case, he absolutely refuses to see one. If there is anyone out there that can offer a suggestion to get him to the doctor, please send me mail and let me know. My girlfriend's family and I would be very grateful. -- Adrian Zannin ..{burdvax,rocksvax,bbncca,decvax,dual,rocksanne,watmath}!sunybcs!ugzannin
