Oh, if only all bloggers felt that way.
But I did run across something I felt should be shared with as many people as I can reach.
Recently I was in a dentist’s waiting room, well, a periodontist’s actually and since they have better magazines, I didn’t mind waiting. That’s when I stumbled on a surprising item. At least it was surprising to me.
An article I read had a brief biography of Nathan Schulhof, the man who invented, built and patented the first downloadable digital player, with patents covering any compression. He is considered the "Father of the MP3 Player Industry". I was startled to read this:
In the midst of his great accomplishments,I never knew that was possible! I always knew you needed to take care of your teeth or lose them but I never thought comas and memory loss could go along with it. Whew!
Schulhof's world was turned upside-down
on January 16, 2004, when he lapsed into a coma
resulting from an ignored tooth infection that
turned his entire body septic, the five-day coma
wiped out his memory and left him hospitalized
for eight months, virtually unable to function.
I’ll be back. I need to brush my teeth. Again.
