Brothers Doug and Mike McEvoy are counting their blessings today after one scary visit to the hospital.
Doug McEvoy was going into Baptist Medical Center in Florida to get spine surgery, because of his intense lower back pain. He was joined by his mother and Mike, who had come for support. The two were finishing a meal when Mike began to feel strange.
It happened fairly quickly: he was struggling to drink his tea properly before he fell out of his chair. Just seconds later, he was rushed away to the emergency room — which was luckily just steps away.
When Doug came out of surgery, he was told that something terrible had happened. At first, he thought that there had been a mishap with his surgery. Then he found out that his brother had been taken to surgery, too, but because of a stroke that he had suffered while waiting for Doug to come out of his procedure.
Luckily, both brothers are recovering and doing well. Although, this seems to be a classic case of being at the right place at the right time Mike's wife says that had the stroke happened at home, Mike may not have gone to the hospital.
“I think if I was not there, I would've been in big trouble. It resulted in a blood clot in my brain, which could have caused death,” he said.
Thankfully, both will be celebrating the holiday season with their family in good health!
