| Since there was a suggestion for commemorating the "Man in Black" Johnny Cash, we could have another one "Come and knock on our door" to commemorate the late John Ritter, aka Jack Tripper. It's too bad to lose him, we could keep him alive on this site! |

| I couldn't believe it when I read this morning that he had passed away, such a sudden and unexpected death, and at such a young age, I guess you just never know. |

I was convinced that someone had heard the name wrong when I was told it was John Ritter. I was completely blown away when I confirmed that it was him. He was one of my favorites.

I'll add a big ditto here. I was addicted to Three's Company when I was growing up! A friend and I were trading Three's Company trivia this afternoon. We'll miss John Ritter!

John Ritter was a person who truly knew happiness. It is a sad thing that he is gone, but he lived a very happy life and I don't know anyone who would complain knowing that...
If I died tomorrow, I'd go out a happy man. I've been happy through good times and bad and I'm glad that I understand that the condition of my soul and my very being is more important than my circumstances in life at any given time. I say 'Bravo' to John Ritter for living his life that way.

I didn't know him myself, but my mom worked with him a few times, including a pilot she produced where he was the guest star.
It's really sad because with all the medical talent in Los Angeles and the kind of money/insurance he had they could have done a better job. |

Sometimes all the money and talent in the world just isn't enough. I'm sure they did all they could do. |

That's what I'm saying: a heightened level of suspicion, a more thorough process of differential diagnosis, or a < $1000 CAT scan probably would have revealed the problem in time for surgical intervention.
Dissection of the aorta is rare but not unknown; a 54YO male who presents at the ER with unexplained chest pain probably would have had a cardiology consult, and I find it hard to believe that a cariologist consulting on an emergency admission wouldn't include it on his list of diagnoses to rule-out.
Mistakes happen; it's just my own opinion, based on the limited information I have, that this MAY have been one, and is all the more tragic for it (including for all the hospital personnel and doctors -- I imagine they are all suffering ...). |
