Rumours of my heart attack are greatly exaggerated

Ahh... the Internet; don't you just love it? David MacGregor, one of the Idealog founders, has unfortunately come down with a very dodgy ticker. He's currently awaiting to undergo bypass surgery, and blogged about it. I read what David had written, thought it interesting and retweeted his tweet with a link to the blog:

Heart attack tweet

It's probably the way Tweetie formats retweets, but I was little taken aback when the well-wishes started rolling in. So to clarify, I'm fine. No heart attack for me. Please read David's blog though to see how he's going.

And thank you very much everybody for your concern - I really appreciate it, and promises to get the exercise going again properly, so as to keep that all-important muscle running smoothly.

Context is everything!

More than once I have read tweets using that style of retweteing and and thought to myself it was a strange thing for that particular person to say (for whatever reason) before reaching the end and realising it was a retweet.  I think it's confusing.

Fixed it now - Tweetie defaults to the "Via" setting, but it's easy to change to "RT". Learning the Internets the hard way here...

Hey narayanan, you need to take care of your health. Its not an age of yours to have such a heart attack. Anyway my wishes are with you. Actually I had an experience of heart problem, but because of my initial care taken of the indications, I managed to prevent myself from anything severe. I was having fast heart beats, hard beating for some indefinite period of time. As I was somewhat aware of such palpitations, I immediately opted for some preliminary tests like Electrocardiogram and Echo cardiogram from www.elitehealth.com . It was quite satisfying that correct medication and proper guidance made me through all these problems. You can also find some very crucial information from http://www.elitehealth.com/heart_scans.php
