Re: Mike Leach taken to hospital
Sounds like he's been moved to something similar to hospice care.

Re: Mike Leach taken to hospital
I just saw that on ESPN. That is sad. It also makes me feel more vulnerable, turning 60 in a few months, having a stent put in last year, and trying to manage heart disease.DuckzRule wrote:SAD UPDATE: He passed away today...
Prayers going up for his family at this difficult time.

It is never too early to start thinking about heart health, I had a double bypass last year, I’m 63.SuperDuck wrote:I just saw that on ESPN. That is sad.

Re: Mike Leach taken to hospital
There are lots of good diagnostic tests to assess your heart health. Unfortunately most insurance won't pay unless you have a diagnosis. You can always call your primary care doctor and complain of shortness of breath or chest pain. That's a sure fire way to get in quickly and get tests done. Your family history is another great barometer to assess your risk. There are also full body scans you can have done relatively inexpensively to detect heart issues, possible cancer, etc. If you're up there in age, like over 50, (like some of us) a yearly physical with complete blood workup is probably your best option. Lots of insurance will pay for that to keep you out of the hospital/ER.Alan wrote:It is never too early to start thinking about heart health, I had a double bypass last year, I’m 63.SuperDuck wrote:I just saw that on ESPN.

Always enjoyed listening to Mike Leach but got the impression he probably wasn't the best guardian of his health. Who knows?!

College football will certainly miss Leach, what a great personality he was and he always gave us memorable quotes. Prayers to his family and MSU.

Re: Mike Leach taken to hospital
Sadly, poor health seems to come with the profession. Long hours, little sleep, poor diet, etc. If anyone is interested, the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker is a must read. Sleep is the most important and most neglected aspect of our health in America.81Duck wrote:There are lots of good diagnostic tests to assess your heart health.

My wife, who knows almost nothing about football, knows who Mike Leach is. That's the footprint he leaves. Very sad. I know everyone is talking about health and prolonging life, but that is merely delaying the inevitable. Watching Coach Leach get struck down so suddenly should motivate one to get right with God and family.

Re: Mike Leach taken to hospital
Exactly right, I went to my GP with complaints about legs getting cold, shortness of breath and fatigue, she drew blood to check a couple of things and then off to a cardiologist. I was lucky in that I was seeing a cardiologist and through a few test and a case of angina it was straight into a angiogram. I will get off my soapbox, but t don’t assume you are just getting old and this is how it is. Communication with doctors may save your life. There is a good chance coach Leach ignored some warning signs.81Duck wrote:There are lots of good diagnostic tests to assess your heart health.
