Lesson of the day: Apple Watch is incredible and everybody should wear one

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Got this notification 3 times today so went to the ER. Turns out I’m the youngest patient this doc has ever seen with AFib. Wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the watch

Got released from the hospital at 3:30am after they got me back on track

Thanks everyone for the wishes :)

Looking back I think I felt minor fluttering but not really to the point of being concerned. And ofc easier to say that I noticed it after the fact 

Seeing the watch notification a few times made me realize it probs wasn’t a coincidence 

EKG at the hospital immediately confirmed what the watch had suggested

Good that you followed up, Greg. If you don’t mind sharing, I’m curious whether you were having any symptoms (palpitations, fatigue, exercise intolerance, dizziness, etc) and what the ECG and echocardiogram at the ER revealed. What was the ER provider’s initial attitude about the Apple Watch alert?

Damn, hope it’s nothing serious at all. Good advert.

Glad to hear you’re ok and that the watch notified you!

Wow. This is incredible and I’m so happy you had that watch on. Hope you’re feeling tip-top right away

Wow Greg, thank goodness. I’m glad you paid attention to those notices!

much grace and renewed strength, greg! stay hydrated.

I hope that you are okay. I am sure that was quite a scare. Apple watch caught my best friend’s 16yo’s previously undiagnosed heart defect and saved his life over a year ago too.  I already had one, but made my husband get one after that. I am sold on it too.
