The Lost Souls of TN and the Internet

Recently I had a fiend of mine, well, I dont even know how to describe it. He's always been pretty nice, kind, but also I know he's had some issues. Putting in simple terms, he's little on the slower side to uptake things, a bit rough around the edges and basically harmless. However, that changed to a point. Recently he told me he got hurt at work, a pallet fell on him. Which, you think its, well ok accidents happen, but it happens often and usually after I challenge him on a comment. The he always gets 'hurt' somehow or just tells me something hit him, wacked him, he fell off something or banged his back of finger.. However on this day, things turned surreal ... Today he told me he had a blockage in his artery at 85%. and needs a stint.. When he said that to me, I was like wow, your not well. Then my medical training kicked in and I thought 85% need a Stint? and your going to work? Hardly. with a blockage of that nature you'd be exhausted in minutes just being at home doing very very basic stuff. AND the medial team who assessed you, would have insisted on the stint then and there in the hospital and since this is Canada we are talking about it would have been basically immediately. I know from experience, a freind of mine his father had a heart attack that left him with a weak heart and it crippled him. at 85% he is in that range... but moving on... I challenge him on that and told him that if that was indeed the issue he needs to go to the hospital. He then called a taxi. and kept on this for 30 min when I said where is your taxi hwy are you even here? you're. walking heart attack. I'd be calling an ambulance. So while waiting for his 45 min ambulance to arrive he kept on this story. Now the thing is with the mitre and my group, Im a trauma medic I deal with battle field injuries which a lot of the time deal in loss of blood and associated things that restrict blood flow. So I know a thing or two. He then messaged me he was on the way to the hospital. then at the hospital. Then going Ito surgery. So I waited and discsssed this with another online friend. Who goes by ambulance to a hospital with possible catastrophic heart issues and logs on the net, lays back on a gurney while in an ambulance testing all the way?? The ambulance service / paramedics should be fired. This was beyond ridiculous.. So as my other friend and I chatted, I got an updated 90 min later from friend wtih the heart thing, who told me he's out of surgery and groggy as hell. I then said you had your heart surgery? he said yes. 1. if you are indeed in recovery. You're in an ICU / recovery area and they do not generally give you a phone 2. 90 min for heart surgery?? even if its a stint, which they do not OPEN you up for, your still in recovery and out of it for a couple hours. Im assuming they cut him open as he said so lets go with that.. 3. Who the heck gets out of an OR, rolled into recovery, gets off his bed, all tied into IV's walks to a place where he does not know where is things are, gets his phone to text someone on a nudist site ' im just out of surgury' So I let him know I did not believe a word he was saying. and left it there. And he said ok talk to you tommorrow.. Tomorrow came and we talked more and he for some reason told me in the open chat room he did didnt have a heart thing, just bought he had chest pains. My reply was to say... So with your chest pains, you called a taxi, then an ambulance to get you to a hospital where, in 90 min they assessed you, called in a surgical team, operated. All because you had a phantom chest pain. All this being said, I feel a little sad, as I was hard on him but I really dont have the energy for all this. Im busy enough wtih work and life here, where my focus has to be on what I need to do. I don't know why he did this but.. I feel rather sad. He is a genuinely nice guy, but this is just over the top. Forgive? Forget? I have no idea but I do need a break from all this. I think the internet is a burning light to the lonely and lost. Who have low esteem, need someone to talk to and thats what I think occurred here. For some reason he thought this would get my attention and feel sorry for him? All I ever ask of anyone is just to be nice, be yourself and be genuine. TN seems to be a beacon for some who are lost ... A little lost on how to go forward. But I cannot continue with all this he is bringing to me.
