Subsequent posts from Steve indicate that the heart attack was
not as bad as first thought; it was a mild one, possibly
resulting from an attempt to take Bob off the respirator to see
if he could breathe on his own. However, the 50/50 chance was
given based on all the injuries, not just the heart attack. :-(
