That's not trivial mate 
Hope he's ok
Happened in the early hours of Sunday morning. Paramedics arrived within 4 minutes. Carted off to the hospital and pumped full of morphine. Sent home yesterday afternoon.Hope he's ok
Just spoken to him and Mum. He reckons it was "just one of those things".
The morphine really took him off-planet, he said that Mum said he was talking jibberish - Mum piped up from the background and said "Well, more than usual."
They were told to take all his medications to the hospital, so they did and the hospital promptly lost them.
I think I know how I'm going to use the two days off I've got next week...

Sorry to hear that Baz, -hang in there.Without knowing the clinical background (or indeed much about cardiology) is there any scope for better prevention and monitoring with your Dad's GP? -Whether it be more regular ECGs, tinkering with meds, popping along when when your dad feels a little bit under the weather -but not properly poorly etc? Sudden blue-light calls are no fun for anyone.
-It's just that people of a certain generation tend not to be good advocates for themselves and don't like to 'bother' the NHS for what they see as low-grade stuff -when in fact they could be missing the 'window of opportunity' -of when the NHS wants to see them most, to fend off a bad event before it happens.
Anyway, best wishes.
Thanks everyone. Zep, Dad said they've already upper the dosage on his blood-thinning meds. You're right though, he was fretting this morning about having to "bother" his GP to get a month's worth of drugs to replace the ones the hospital lost. Silly sod.
Other than that, he's in good spirits - making sure I'm eating properly and all that parent stuff.
In lighter news, I found myself involved in an "acceleration comparison" experiment on the way to work. One point eight litres of Katie versus a whopping six litres of lovely red JAG XJR-S.
It was very close, but I bottled it when we hit the one Lepton mark.
