Good Results from Lehrer’s Heart Attack


In English I'm learning about Jim Lehrer.  So I had the assignment of writing about the pros to his heart attack he had...  ALLONS-Y!!!

Good Results from Lehrer’s Heart Attack

Lehrer gained quite a bit of wisdom while recovering from his heart attack.  In fact, because of his experience, Lehrer was able to give advice to people about researching whether or not any of their families have had any past heart attacks.  Because of that, he was able to save a few people’s lives because they took his advice.  When they felt their chest start to hurt, the victims were able to rush to the hospital before anything serious happened.  For instance, one lady felt her chest start to hurt.  She immediately rushed to the hospital and actually collapsed right in front of the reception desk.  The doctors were able to save her life because she had acted so quickly.  In addition to teaching people about heart attack risk, he was able to make a bucket list of things he wanted to do.  When he was in his twenties, he collected his father’s old bus signs.  Now he had time to collect an entire arrangement of different bus signs.   This was something he did not have time to do while he was working as a reporter.
