A 24-year old male is seen at a hospital clinic for a routine
physical. He is tall, thin, in good health, and checks out perfectly
normal in the physical. At the end of the physical, walks out of the
hospital emergency room exit, and sees his bus pulling up about a
block away. He makes a mad dash for the bus, and halfway down the
block suddenly clutches his right chest and falls to the ground, in
obvious physical distress, breathing laboriously.
This episode is witnessed by two sets of ambulance drivers by the
exit, one of which takes him back into the Emergency Room on a stretcher.
What happened?
Actually, if you're like most people, you'll instantly make one
guess, and as soon as you speak it, immediately reconsider it, and come
up with the correct answer. What are the two answers?
