200311 Apple Watch

1. Jim had come downstairs and told me that, you know, “Hey, Dad. This is really weird, but, you know, look at my watch. You know, it’s showing my heart rate is, you know, 150 beats per minute.” So, we called his doctor. She said, “You need to just take him to the hospital.” 2. It was weird - they just started filling the room. So I go from having, like, two nurses and a cardiologist and the attending emergency room doctor in there to suddenly more and more people are getting in there. By this point, his heart rate was just going, you know, 175-180 beats per minute and it’s just steadily staying there. 3. They were getting ready to push another medication, and then the cardiologist comes in there. He looked at me and says, “I just want you to be prepared. If this does not work, you’re going to be airlifted.” And it just kind of hit me how serious this was. Everybody in that room was just quiet, I mean, just watching that monitor, all staring at it. And then all of a sudden, it…came down. And he was… he was OK. 4. The Apple Watch enabled me to take control of my situation, whereas previously, I wasn’t able to do that. It saved my life. Jim 走下楼对我说，“嘿，爸爸。这真的很奇怪，但快看我的手表。上面显示我的心率达到了每分钟150次。”于是我们给他的医生打了个电话。她说，“你需要马上把他带到医院来。” 奇怪的是，越来越多的人开始进到房间里来。一开始房间里有两位护士，一位心脏病专家和一位急救室主治医生，突然越来越多的人进入到那里。这个时候，他的心率达到了每分钟175-180次，并且一直稳定地处于这个值。 他们准备使用另外一种药物，然后心脏病专家进来了，看着我说，“我只是想让你做好准备。如果药物没有起作用的话，你们将会被空运转移。”我突然才意识到这有多严重。房间里的每个人都十分安静，看向监测仪，所有人都盯着它看。然后突然，（心率）数值降下来了。他没事了。 Apple Watch 让我能够控制我的处境，而在以往，我是无法做到这些的。它拯救了我的生命。
