Life saved by an Apple iPhone and Words with Friends

I think the fact of that matter is that since Words with Friends has a simple chat feature, it gave the ability for two strangers to communicate and take action on the matter. Sure, she could have called the doctor about the symptoms her husband was having, but it wasn't like she was contacting the other woman through Words with Firends about the matter as an emergency; she simply mentioned it as a topic of interest and concern. And besides, its not like they would have talked on the phone, or even texted each other about it either; all we know is that they're only friends through the game and nothing else.

I think this article is crap. Cool the APP saved a life, but how the heck does the iphone do it? That app is on so many different devices, platforms, etc. Phone arena continuing to suck off apple cool.

Men are great at hiding and denying symptoms. When my father-in-law had his first heart attack, he sat there with sweat pouring off his body denying he needed a doctor or hospital.

Later on, his remark to his daughter that he needed an eye exam because his vision seemed blurry, led to the discovery that his carotid arteries were blocked - 75% in one, and over 90% in the other.

So she's not sitting there playing a game while he writhes.

A friends husband recently went to the doctor because he was feeling tired. They ran some tests, then put him in the hospital for some more. He needed a heart valve replacement and had an aneurysm the surgeon said was the biggest he'd seen. They said they were surprised he could even walk into the doctor's office.

and honestly the game almost KILLED her husband, not saved it. Had she not been a total moron, she would have gotten off the phone to call 911 when her husband started having symptoms instead of texting a stranger back and forth about it waiting for responces.. then calling 911. I wonder how much extra time it took for her to decide to call. The signs and symptoms of HF/HB are kind of OBVIOUS.

No I don't hate Apple. But let's face it, this article is misleading. The game WWF saved the husbands life. Not the use of the Iphone.
