Dolphin Stress Test


The picture posted here has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at Loma Linda Medical Center.Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study of a group revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The number of differences observed matches closely to the amount of stress the observer is experiencing.Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may be experiencing stress.

I went to the Doctor on Thursday and she said I had had a heart attack and that I needed to go for a stress test on Tuesday to see if there are any blockages. My family knows this scares me to death since I just recently went out to see my mom who had suffered a heart attack and lost my dad to a heart attack when he was 59 yrs. old. My brother had to go through it to when he was 52. I guess it's my turn. I thought she was crazy when she did the ekg until she showed it to me. Now if I can get through the stress test ok I will be much better. It scares the bajeebees out of me. So if you see me walking alot lately around the neighborhood with John you'll know I am trying to get my heart strong.

How was the test? Hopefully it went well. I was so shocked when Wendy told me you'd had a heart attack. You should have brought her kids to me and taken a rest! You could do that any time you know.
