Diving instructor fighting for his life after stroke in Thailand

Stoke at 39? Seems a bit curious...

Oh, it's Ko Tao. Never mind.

"Dan Robinson, 39, who is originally from Deighton, suffered a stroke where he lives on Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand.


The former Greenhead College student, who has been living in Thailand for several years, was taken ill on Wednesday - a year to the day since he married his partner Jurait."

I read where it's common knowledge within the diving community of the danger of stroke. Makes sense to me. Hope he comes through okay.

Actually I had one when 41 it was caused by artery lining failing - in 20% of cases it just happens it called spontaneous - just an internal failure but can happen when in violent movement such as vehicle accident, jumping etc, been known to happen when people jump off walls etc not even high ones for example .

technical term what happened to me was vertebral artery dissection. That can happen at any age even to otherwise healthy people. Since then I became unhealthy - didnt see any need in this health shit after that just happens......
Hope this person recovers I did not follow the link to read his story though...

Good point. I failed to make that connection with diving.

I thought maybe he was poisoned by the Southern Thai mafia, some rival diving company, etc.

I certainly wouldn't take that of the table, foul play that is, these days. It's too easy to be cynical with all the nasty things that do happen. Gotta suck either way. Yeah, one_dolla, vertebral artery dissection, just the name alone gives you the creeps. Glad you made it through.

Thanks both of you .. good recovery couple of little issues but nothing to complain about!

I think it's safe to assume the recent visit by the Thai general was not a bilateral trade discussion like stated but more a fact finding mission.

He was only in cambodia for less than 24 hours so I wonder if he got some good information.....
