Well, like the guy or not, the FACT of the matter is that HE'S ALIVE !!
But when it comes to TDS Leftists, FACTS are not easily assimilated within whatever is between their ears because THEY ARE IMMUNE TO FACTS.......
From reports that I've read I suspect that Kim may have suffered a Stress Related heart attack. This can happen especially if one has suddenly experienced a stress related occurrence or has had an accumulation of stress related incidents. Being overweight, a smoker, and in poor physical condition doesn't help. Kim, who generally "waddles" around, smokes "like a chimney", has never looked in good physical shape to me.
If he suffered one of those and he received an effective treatment for it, he could have been up and about within a week or two.
I got to a know a certain Dr. Karl Posel. He wasn't a "Dr." in the medical sense, he had a D.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and back in the 1960's he was involved, with the medical fraternity, with a new system of human Electrocardiography (ECG).
During that research the team came to conclude that the effects of a stress related heart attack can be reversed by the administration of drugs such as Digoxin and Aldomat in very carefully calculated dosages, as Digoxin, which is similar to Digitalis, can be very dangerous if not administered in the correct dosage.
Dr. Posel told me of one incident where he received a call from a hospital where he was not allowed to work as he was not a registered medical professional. He only had permission to work at one particular hospital for his research. The doctors who called him were desperate because a heart attack patient was in a very serious condition and they had done everything that they knew of without success, so they urgently requested he go there to assist them.
He initially said that he could not because of his restriction. But they said that if something was not done soon, the patient would most certainly die. So Dr. Posel went.
On arrival he did an ECG on the patient to check on his heart's pumping rate, etc. He then informed the doctors as to the medication they should administer and how to calculate the dosages and when to administer them. That was all done and it wasn't long before it was obvious that the patient's condition was improving and the man left the hospital about a week later.
Much of Dr.Posel's research he put into a book entitled, "The Heart Attack : Revoking The Old And Introducing The New". I have a scanned copy of that book.
Much of what Dr. Posel discovered in his research ran very contrary to the Medical fraternity's understanding of the causes of heart attacks. For example, the medical terminology for the major end result of a heart attack is "A Myocardial Infarct", which is the damage caused to the muscle of the heart. The medicals believed this was caused by a blockage in the Coronary Artery. But nowhere can it be found or shown that the "age" of the blockage is "older" than the Infarct. In fact it is the opposite way around.
So there must have been another cause for that damage to the heart muscle. Dr. Posel and the team found that the damage was caused due to a lack of oxygen content in the blood that was reaching the heart. The oxygen content in the blood is the "fuel", or "energy", that the heart's muscle needs to do its work. The heart is a muscle and, as any muscle in the body, it needs oxygen in order to do its work.
When the oxygen content in the blood is too low the heart needs a greater volume of blood to get the right quantity of oxygen. When that happens the heart has to expand to a far greater extent than normal and it "over stretches" itself and that results in "Plastic Deformation" as opposed to its normal "Elastic Deformation".
Elastic Deformation is when something deforms but returns easily back to its previous size or state. Plastic Deformation is when something expands to such an extent that it deforms and can get damaged in the process. That's what happens to the heart's muscle when it has to over expand to get that right amount of oxygen content to fuel its beating action, and that is what causes that "Myocardial Infarct" damage to the muscle wall of the heart. Like any damage that happens to a body's muscle, the body itself eventually repairs that damage. The same repair is carried out by the body to its heart's "muscle" over a period of time.
It was discovered, in postmortems carried out on heart attack victims, that the "age" of the Myocardial Infarct was always older than any component of blockage material in the Coronary Artery.
Central to the success of Dr. Posel's research and his findings was his understanding that the heart is a Pump. And because of his Engineering education he understood the characteristics of a Pump. And he applied this principle to the functioning of the heart and the flow mechanism of the blood to and from the heart itself. Unfortunately medical doctors, certainly at that time, were never taught these principles of Engineering so they knew nothing of the "Pressure-Volume" diagram that every pump has and by which it's actions and efficiencies can be calculated.
