I’ll ante up with the basketball ref who passed out in the middle of the USC-Gonzaga game on March 30, 2021, and what they found
Bert Smith is a “former” athlete, in the sense that he never quit being athletic. He runs, he walks, he takes the stairs instead of the elevator, and he still passed out in the middle of a game.
At first, the doctors didn’t find anything wrong with them. That’s when, if you’re lucky, you get a good doctor who keeps looking, and Bert Smith’s doctor did.
There are so many stories in most newspapers that, looking back, I’d be fine with skipping. This article, I was glad I read.
If you liked this thread, find something else off the beaten trail, but that made you think, and post it here.
