  • Gary Straber's story is a powerful reminder of trusting those who care about us, even when we think we can tough it out. “The aneurysm was one of those things that’s kind of a wild card,” said Straber, who went to the Franciscan Health ER after having tingling and tightness in his chest. “It could’ve been days, it could have been years. And I would’ve never known. So I wouldn’t necessarily have been in a position to get care if and when it did rupture.” https://lnkd.in/e4fnBAK6
