Serious Business

  Let me take you   1   a couple of years.Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   2   me yet.

  We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware store.No automatic door, not a computer in the building.It was one that I went to fairly often.As we entered the door, two sounds   3   us.The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door.The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   4  

  "Good afternoon, Ryan,"  5   the cheerful greeting.Andy was a very   6   sort of owner.He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.

  We walked across the old wood floor.Andy asked us what he could help us with.I told him we were   7   a spring.He very patiently replied, "I have lots of springs.You're going to need to be more   8  ."

  "Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door."

  "That's it.A screen door spring.Right down there." We   9   where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were.Andy knew his store, and his products.That was why I came here instead of Meijer.The service couldn't be beaten.The price-Yes.But service and   10  -No.

  I picked up one and followed him to the   11  

  He   12   the price, doing the math in his head."$1.88, with tax:comes to $1.99."

  Put it on my dad's account."

  He nodded and smiled, "Good dad's account." He laughed."I don't know what you boys would do   13   dad's account!"

  He handed me the ticket and as I   14   it I asked, "You really trust my signature?"

  His reply surprised,   15   delighted, me."When I can't trust Jerry Hoover's boys I can trust nobody!"

  We left, and the brain   16   started to forget things, in order of importance.But what Andy said that day rang in my ears.And it rings in my ears today.That's a tall order to live up.to.It's a high standard of   17  .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to   18   the benefits.But on account of this, I must   19   that fame.And that's   20   business.

As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been  36 only once-for a woman who had merely fainted. But the   37 made me quite curious about how  38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if  39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without access  40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So   41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week   42 a study about in-flight medical events, I   43 it with interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n)  44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not   45 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints.  46 13% of them-roughly four a day-are serious enough to   47 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies   48 heart trouble, strokes, and  difficult breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are   49 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly   50 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty   51 , but passengers with heart disease   52 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.  53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis(血栓)-the so-called economy class syndrome(綜合癥).  54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation(立法), flights with at   55 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart attacks.
