They also say to immediately take an aspirin, but I didn't have one on me. I now take a baby aspirin each day.

Many years ago I read an article ( ironically while in a DRs waiting room ) that army DRs working on injured Vietnam soldiers were shocked to find arteries blockage in young men in there middle 20s. Now they are finding this in 10 year olds. So may YOUNG kids are overweight, have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart dieses etc. Leon S.

On December 1st I post a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its sort of my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation for the Lists. Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors? As a number of people have pointed out, the List seems at least, if not a whole lot more, as valuable as a building/flying/recreating tool as a typical your magazine subscription. We won't even talk about a newsstand price... :-) Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa or M/C on the SSL Secure Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution or by popping a personal check in the mail to: Matronics Email Lists c/o Matt Dralle PO Box 347 Livermore CA 94551-0347 I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about how the Lists have helped you! I love to feel the love... :-) Best regards, Matt Dralle Email List Administrator Matt G Dralle | Matronics | PO Box 347 | Livermore | CA | 94551 925-606-1001 V | 925-606-6281 F | dralle@matronics.com Email http://www.matronics.com/ WWW | Featuring Products For Aircraft do not archive ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:10:57 AM PST US From: Harvey Rule Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: FAA Medical --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Harvey Rule Thanks for the info.I thought myself that the panis that would set in let alone losing conciousness might inhibit one from coughing anyway.I shall keep this letter for info in the future. >--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Galen Hutcheson > >Harvey, I am a retired MD and this technique is news >to me.
