Your question was:Why is polygamy illegal but gay marriage legal in the US?History.In Utah, it’s because it’s written into the Utah State Constitution.The U.S. Congress required this inclusion, along with a substantial redrawing of the state borders (Utah was formerly “The State Of Deseret”, and much, much larger), before they would consider granting it statehood.So they made it unconstitutional in Utah.At this point, there was more or less as schism in the LDS church, resulting in the main line LDS church — which opposes polygamy — and the RLDS church. There have been many offshoots since then which have tried to revive the practice.But given that Utah is majority LDS, and the LDS church is officially anti-polygamy, and the majority of the Utah State Legislature mirrors the population, and the requirements for a State Constitutional amendment in Utah…Let’s just say: that’s not changing any time soon.There is no more devout a zealot than the one who was most recently converted.What are the consequences of this?One of them is that any U.S. state allowing polygamy would provoke an immediate federal level U.S. Constitutional crisis.Specifically, it would be impossible for all states to comply with Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.This is also known as the Full Faith and Credit Clause.Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereofPolygamously married in one state?You’re married in all.Except Utah.And the other states where it’s illegal, but could be overruled on a case by case basis on constitutional grounds.Ah… but Utah.If you fly to Las Vegas for a weekend, land in SLC Airport along the way, and get out of the plane to get into the other plane to go on to Las Vegas — what does that mean for your marriage?What if one of you falls direly ill in the airport, and has to be rushed to a local hospital? Who gets to visit? Who has medical power of attorney?From a legal perspective, it’d really make everyone’s lives easier if your heads exploded as soon as you stepped foot of the plane.Cleaning that up would be less messy than cleaning up the legal contradictions.Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you find the play?So ignoring Utah, why are there laws against polygamy in the other states?Initially, it’s because they didn’t want Mormons.The LDS church was considered a cult.Established religions hate cults. Cults are competition for followers, who then tithe, from which the organized religion derives its income.If you are a cult, you are threatening their livelihood.Obviously, there’s a bit more to it than that.Cults tend to be socially unstable; consider Heaven's Gate, aka “The Comet Suicide Cult”; or The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, aka “Reverend Jim Jones’ Koolaid Party” aka “The Jonestown Massacre”.Anthropologically, a cult can’t really be said to be a religion until it has survived past one generation beyond the death of its founder.So from that perspective: they were right, it was a cult, until Brigham Young passed on, and John Taylor took over.Yes, but how did this impact laws?So if you aren’t doing polygamy, and you don’t want a cult in your area, and one of the most recognizable attributes of the people you don’t want around is that they practice polygamy — and you don’t — what laws do you make so that they have to move?Got it in one guess, I’m sure!Today, it would be illegal to pass such laws, under the Civil Rights Ac of 1964.Such “move on” or “get out of here” laws would be considered part and parcel withe the Jim Crow laws.But because of history, and the need to violate the law to challenge the law, and the inability to legally violate the law somewhere to challenge the law on a civil rights basis in another jurisdiction……there’s not really a way to go about issuing a challenge.And since there’s no way to change that without finding your change in law unconstitutional, due to the inability of Utah to grant “full faith and credit”……you have a Catch-22.Unless you start by amending the Utah State Constitution.Good luck boys! Have fun storming the castle!As interesting as that might be…We haven’t even got to the thorny issues of what a plural marriage would mean to:Survivorship rightsCustodyInheritance — Louisiana has law based on Napoleonic Code, rather than English Common Law; guess what a usufruct looks like, for a dead man with 5 wives?Medical power of attorneyWho pays judgementsWhen one of personas { A, B, C } wants a legal divorce from one, but not the other, members of the set?How exactly does the personal tax deduction work again?Who claims what child on whose taxes?Little Billy punches little Tommy; how many parents can you fit in a principal’s office?Etc.Everything goes to hell.You could maybe manage things which are assignable via civil contract; but some things aren’t, and are considered spousal privilege, under law.Really, if we had been able to easily resolve these issues, we would have gotten the government out of the marriage business ages ago — instead of dragging the camel’s head into the tent to be with his nose, by having governmental recognition of gay marriage.So the simple answer is that it would probably mean a half century or more of legal pain in the keister.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was so named in 1838. We would appreciate it greatly if everyone would get on board with the name we choose for ourselves rather than using a term that has its origin and some continued hints of mockery of our belief in a prophet named Mormon who wrote a book.That said, we build people.To help us build people, we spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.To spread the gospel of Jesus Christ we provide resources such as meetinghouses for Sunday worship and temples—which are sanctuaries set apart from the world for the performance of sacred ordinances such as eternal marriages.A meetinghouse is typically used by two or three congregations in an area heavily populated by members of the Church. They are built to similar plans in order to save money and improve efficiency of maintenance. See here: Architecture, Engineering & Construction Division, MFD, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsWe build smaller more flexible buildings in areas with few members, such as our building on Salt Spring Island off of Victoria Island in Canada.Our meetinghouses are used daily—for example, I teach a morning religious education class to high school juniors every morning at 6:15 AM in our meetinghouse here in Laie, Hawaii. It sits on land that is worth millions of dollars—we easily have over 10,000 meetinghouses and we lease facilities for other meetings. Some of these facilities aren’t cheap:There’s a meeting with our Church President Russell M. Nelson in the State Farm stadium in Phoenix—he’s on the jumbotron there if you look closely speaking to 65,000 assembled members. Not cheap, I imagine, to rent out the stadium.Our temples are considered offerings to God—holy places where heaven meets earth. They are built to a standard of construction unknown on the Earth to any other group and, yes, this costs money. But they are Holy places and no amount of effort is spared—the blessings returned to the people far exceed the sacrifices made to build them. Our temple in Salt Lake City consists of hand-carved granite blocks that were moved from Little Cottonwood canyon via oxcart. It took forty years to build.Here’s a more recent effort in San Diego, California:Not only are they expensive in time and material, but we are building temples in countries far from Utah. Here is the new temple in the Democratic Republic of the Congo:Any group of faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will receive the blessing of a temple when they are prepared to staff it and use it appropriately.Anchorage, Alaska:The meetinghouses and temples are there to help us provide ordinances to our dead ancestors—we do the physical work that they cannot do in the spirit world given that they are now separated from their physical bodies until the resurrection. We do not believe that we are forcing anything upon them, but we make tremendous efforts to gather genealogical records and provide them to the world.Anyone who does family history profits from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints http://familysearch.org libraries, family history centers and website resources. We have millions of pages of microfilmed records that preserved crumbling church registers and other official birth, death and marriage records from all over the world. We’ve been at this work for over 180 years now and now genetic researchers are profiting from that work. God knew what he was doing getting it all on microfilm because data on computers is very hard to make permanent—computers change so rapidly that your storage media have a short life. For example, vital Apollo Program data was almost lost forever but for an engineer who preserved computer tapes that no machine could read. We spend lots of our money on this effort to maintain and protect family history information and we keep those records absolutely secure in a vault:Of course, the temples, meetinghouses and records would be useless if we didn’t have members. So we field tens of thousands of missionaries around the world—67,000 as of the date I wrote this. They are trained in centers built all over the world. In fact, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has the best language training facilities on the Earth. It is said, only half in jest, that two groups of people are capable of learning the Finnish language—babies and missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.We just expanded the primary Missionary Training Center in Provo, UtahMissionaries are flying all over the world at Church expense, daily, as they move to and from their fields of labor. So many missionaries fly in and out of the Salt Lake City airport that the airport itself built a place to accommodate them: Salt Lake City Airport renovation to accommodate LDS missionaries, families, travelersThe Church has a system where it pays the expenses for missionaries without economic means to do so and where each family that can afford to pay is given a flat rate charge of $500 per month. This evens out the costs—back in the day when you paid whatever the mission required, some families were paying $50 a month for a missionary in South America and others $1,500 a month for a missionary in London, England. Now the Church handles all the costs from a gigantic fund and is able to spread the costs among those families with serving missionaries.As a father of nine, I am very thankful for this assistance. Missionaries need room and board, they often have a car—the Church must own and operate a couple hundred thousand Toyota Corollas—and it is self-insured. Imagine the cost of having inexperienced young men and women, often driving on the other side of the road than they were trained for. I served in Australia and it was tougher than you think to learn to shift gears with your left hand.Most people realize the multi-billion-dollar investments in our temples; however, there are over 400 mission headquarters, each of which has a home large enough to accommodate the mission president’s family and hold large meetings with missionaries who are arriving and leaving the mission—in our mission home we also had regular meetings where our mission president would teach people in his home. In some areas of the world, this home has to have serious security. In most developed nations, these homes were purchased well over 100 years ago and now find themselves inside the most desirable (and pricey) neighborhoods. Our Honolulu Mission President’s family resides for their three years in a home in Portlock—there’s an investment that just keeps growing.I suspect we spend a good deal on keeping our missionaries healthy—medical needs are covered by the Church for all its young missionaries as are costs of treating injuries, costs of mental health professionals (missionary work is emotionally difficult, constant rejection and you are taken from your home and your traditional strategies of coping with tough times and you must stay with a companion 24/7 that you may or may not find compatible). The Church covers any needs. A jet was procured and used to evacuate the 200 or so missionaries serving in Puerto Rico after the big hurricane. Jesus taught Peter that when money was necessary—it would be there. Jesus did this by having Peter cast his hook, catch a fish and then take a gold coin out of the fish’s mouth with which to pay the tax. Never worry that the Lord Jesus Christ doesn’t recognize the needs of His people, whether or not they are members of this Church.And when the world causes trouble for its people or our members, we are there with food and support. We maintain a vast network of farms and food processing centers and are able to feed our people and many others with Bishop’s Storehouses that are located near every congregation. A local leader can call upon those resources and many others.Here’s a typical Bishop’s Storehouse:Anything a family needs—meat, fresh produce, cooking essentials, cleaning and hygiene supplies—anything. No member of the Church goes hungry so long as the bishop knows about it. I was a bishop—I had dozens of men and women checking up on every one of the 300 members in my ward so that I could intervene with professional assistance if necessary at the Church’s expense. Because my ward was well over an hour’s drive from our Bishop’s Storehouse, when necessary, I could simply buy the food with Church funds at a local store and distribute it directly. (Under strict supervision and auditing, of course.)The Church food chain includes a network of farms. We own the world’s largest beef cattle operation in Florida, the Deseret Ranch. Deseret Ranches Of Florida We have our own brand and produce everything from soup to nuts. You can barely make out the “Deseret” brand at the top of the cans.So to those who claim we should be feeding the poor with our money—find me anyone who needs food and isn’t getting it and we’ll make an effort to reach them. The Church contributes heavily to other charities with proven records of low-overhead and successful delivery of food and services. See, e.g. LDS Charities Releases 2018 Annual ReportWe have also repurchased our historical sites—places where our ancestors were attacked and often killed by mobs. Here’s Nauvoo, Illinois where we not only rebuilt our temple but recreated the city itself and staff an attraction that has been visited by millions.We are scripturally bound to reclaim the lands of MIssouri that we once owned—but slowly and in the Lord’s time and under His direction:52 For, behold, verily I say unto you, the Lord willeth that the disciples and the children of men should open their hearts, even to purchase this whole region of country, as soon as time will permit.53 Behold, here is wisdom. Let them do this lest they receive none inheritance, save it be by the shedding of blood.54 And again, inasmuch as there is land obtained, let there be workmen sent forth of all kinds unto this land, to labor for the saints of God.55 Let all these things be done in order; and let the privileges of the lands be made known from time to time, by the bishop or the agent of the church.56 And let the work of the gathering be not in haste, nor by flight; but let it be done as it shall be counseled by the elders of the church at the conferences, according to the knowledge which they receive from time to time. Doctrine and Covenants 58We repurchased and continue to acquire lands in Nauvoo—a City built by our forebears.We repurchased and restored the Joseph Smith family farm and the nearby Hill Cumorah where Joseph Smith was led to the ancient record that became the Book of Mormon.We own the jail where Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith were martyredWe educate our members as well as feed them. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a huge educational system with a first-rate research University as the crown jewel. Its newest building—the Life Sciences building—alone has more square footage than the entire campus of Brigham Young University Hawaii, where I work. BYU College of Life Sciences - WikipediaBrigham Young University is widely recognized as among the great universities of the world, a top-rated value for the money because the Church heavily subsidizes tuition for its members. We even won the United States National College Football Championship in 1984 and field first-rate athletic teams that compete at the highest levels of collegiate sports. BYU No. 1 in new Wall Street Journal ranking of colleges 'worth the cost'I attended the Marriott School of Management and have an undergraduate in accounting—our School of Accounting at BYU is one of the top three in the nation. Accounting students land BYU another No. 1 rankingI attended the J. Reuben Clark School of Law at BYU and received a legal education that was the equal of any law school you could name. It’s founding dean, Rex Lee, was a United States Solicitor General who I believe is among the attorneys who have argued the most cases before the United States Supreme Court. BYU Law’s pipeline to the U.S. Supreme Court continuesBYU is staggeringly expensive to operate and maintain—top-rate professors do not come cheaply. But, the Church has learned that the more educated its members are, the more faithful and devoted they are—dollar for dollar, investment in education is the best dollars we spend in terms of the return we get. Five of my children, so far, have attended Brigham Young University.We have sister universities in Idaho and Hawaii. I work at BYU-Hawaii where the Church bought a significant chunk of Oahu in 1865 and presently runs the state’s number-one cash attraction, the Polynesian Cultural Center. www.polynesia.comI’m typing this answer right now inside the building at the lower right hand margin of this photograph—on a Saturday, i.e. my own time.BYU-Hawaii isn’t cheap, but we are educating young Church members from over 70 different countries and sending them back to build a strong middle-class in their communities in developing countries. The Church invests in its young people—that is why it continues. Its leaders know and appreciate the value of education.My accounting students work at the Polynesian Cultural Center in demanding and responsible positions dealing with millions of dollars of cash—they get amazing jobs and are welcomed by many graduate schools where they excel and bring honor to our school.BYU has study abroad centers all over the world. I attended our center in Jerusalem, Israel.Here’s the view from the auditorium—that is the Dome of the Rock shrine on the Temple Mount in the backgroundThe entire center is an amazing facility.My daughter attended BYU’s London Center in Kensington at 27 Palace Court:In addition to our universities, we maintain Institutes of Education adjacent to most Universities and colleges. There are a total of 324,537 students enrolled in these institutes of religion at present.Here is the one at Yale University:The Church itself has sixteen million members, about 400 missions, 11 missionary training centers, and 30,536 congregations. See, Statistics and Church Facts | Total Church MembershipWe also have a state-of-the-art publishing facility that prints, among other things, The Book of Mormon, which is currently printed in over 90 languages and which reached a total publication of 150 million volumes in 2011.We will give you a copy for free: The Book of Mormon brings you closer to Jesus. | ComeUntoChrist.orgWe also print the Bible and other scriptures and there is a regular monthly periodical available in many languages—all of which are supplemented by an amazing website and mobile apps. Our former president Gordon B. Hinckley prophetically understood the value of the internet and we are all over the internet with advertising and resources for Church members. www.churchofjesuschrist.orgWe have a state-of-the-art media production facility and team that produce amazing work. Recently, the Church funded a series of video representations of the New Testament. Watch Scenes from the BibleHere’s my favorite one:Peter and John Heal a Man Crippled Since BirthObviously, an operation the size of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints needs a headquarters and has thousands of employees who make their careers working to administer and run the Church’s operations—myself, for example, here at BYU-Hawaii:One of the office buildings above and our Administration Building below:A facility fit to receive Presidents and world leaders who come to pay respects:We have a new Church History library that provides resources to researchers, even our critics, regarding our historical records. It is all out there and public. See, The Joseph Smith Papers: A comprehensive digital collection of the papers of Joseph SmithThis is the library, Utah State Capital dome visible in background.Finally, we have our humanitarian projects. We have facilities with the materials necessary to clean up after disasters. Governments have studied our supply chain. We can field tens of thousands of workers within hours and we can equip them with generators, lighting, chainsaws, tools, cold storage, food—we can turn any of our meetinghouses into a shelter capable of housing hundreds temporarily in the case of natural disasters.We are widely recognized for expertise in this area and are usually the first on the ground with aid.Mormon humanitarian donations quadruple in response to disastersNews excerpts:The church provided mattresses, shelter, food and water in Sierra Leone and food and emergency items in Nepal during August and September.In response to hurricanes, it has shipped about 90 truckloads of food, water, clothing and other relief supplies to Texas and Florida and more than 40 ocean containers of food, water, building materials, hygiene kits and cleaning supplies to Caribbean islands. Two planes each delivered 80,000 pounds of food, water and tarps to Puerto Rico.The church sent nearly 15,000 food boxes and hundreds of hygiene kits and tents to Mexico to support government relief efforts. Mormon Helping Hands also provided thousands of hours of volunteer work.In recent years, the church has provided annual reports about its emergency response efforts.In 2016, the church provided aid to 119 emergency response projects in 49 countries.In 2015, it responded to 177 emergency situations in 56 countries.In 2014, the church helped people amid 132 disasters in 60 countries.Those numbers are an incomplete picture of the church's overall efforts. For example, in 2016, LDS Charities worked on 488 refugee aid projects in 54 countries, according to its annual report.And, we fund all of this from the income.We reinvest a large portion of our income every year.We have built up a reserve that allows us to provide services in perpetuity, that means forever. We don’t believe in just giving out money—one and done cannot solve the problems the world faces.So we are slowly increasing our outreach as our investments grow in their ability to fund the mission of the Church. The Mormon Church Amassed $100 Billion. It Was the Best-Kept Secret in the Investment World.Those who criticize the Church for investing its money simply fail to understand the power of relying solely upon the income or interest from investments. This means that the resources will always be there. We are not at the mercy of economic cycles.By not overspending our resources and maintaining steady growth, the Church of Jesus Christ will be able to fulfill its prophesied mission of filling the earth:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.Daniel 2Come and see.

Well , first of all you need be prepared in case of any medical emergency. First, you should have a complete first-aid kit. Also, you can save a life by being CPR trained in adults, children and babies. You should learn how to do the heimleck maneuver so you can save a choking person, heileck is different for babies. Also, you should have an AED a defibrillator to shock the person back to life. You can also walk around your home and identify any thing that looks dangerous and fix it. Make sure your smoke detector works. and buy a carbon monoxide reader to let you know so you can save your families lifes.Under this definition, a medical emergency is, “the sudden onset of a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in: placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy, ..Steps to take when an emergency occurs:Take a deep breath.Count to 10. Tell yourself you can handle the situation.Check for danger. Protect yourself and the injured person from fire, explosions, or other hazards.Try to look at the situation as a whole.Provide first aid for any injured people. Move any people who are injured away from further danger. Obtain as much information about the emergency as possible, without putting yourself in danger. Pass the information on to emergeny responders when they arrive on the scene.Dealing with a Difficult ProblemAlways try to solve a problem informally first. ...Focus on the problem, not the person. ...Be assertive, but be courteous. ...Focus on the immediate problem. ...Prepare for your meeting. ...If you are uncomfortable meeting alone, invite a third party to join you. ...Put yourself in the other person's shoes.Method 2 Handling the EmergencyDetermine if you can do anything to help. ...Take time to think before acting. ...Get the first aid kit. ...Ask basic questions of the injured person. ...Avoid moving an injured person. ...Use the telephone only to ask for help.Staying Calm During an Emergency Can Save Lives. ... Before we discuss what you can do to stay calm and focused in an emergency, let me tell you why it's important to stay calm and focused. When the body is under stress, it moves into survival mode, better known as the fight-or-flight syndromeWe spend a lot of time trying to stay healthy. We exercise, eat right, and get check-ups and screenings. But how many of us take the time to prepare for a medical emergency, with the right information and equipment handy? "Most patients I see are not prepared to come to the emergency department [ED]. They don't know their medical problems. We're lucky if they carry their medications list," says Dr. Kei Ouchi, an emergency medicine physician at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital.Maybe we're unprepared because of a natural tendency to think that medical emergencies may happen to others but not to us. But consider the numbers: in 2009–2010, about half of all adults ages 65 or older went to an emergency department, according to the CDC. "The number of older adults coming into the ED is increasing, especially near the end of life — 75% of older adults come to the ED at least once in their last six months," Dr. Ouchi says. Those odds may make you want to think twice about preparing for the unexpected.Get your "go bag" readyConsider creating a medical "go bag" that you or a loved one can grab in an instant. This might be an actual bag that contains lists, legal documents, and a small supply of emergency medications or devices. Keep that bag in a familiar spot in your house. Alternatively, keep the lists and legal documents in electronic form on your cell phone or a computer flash drive, inside something that's with you at all times (like on a key chain or in a purse). Talk to your doctor, your family, and even your attorney about the information and supplies that will meet your personal health needs.Important listsYou'll need four lists in case of a medical emergency.List 1 should include (1) your current and past medical conditions and surgeries, (2) major illnesses of your immediate family members (parents, siblings, children), and (3) any physical challenges or disabilities (such as vision loss).List 2 should have the names, addresses, and phone numbers for your health care team, especially your primary care physician and any specialists who treat you.List 3 should include all of the medications and supplements you currently take. Write down the name, dose, and frequency of each medication. "It helps when you have a medications list, because some can have side effects. For example, digoxin [Cardoxin] to treat abnormal heart rhythm and heart failure can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and stomach upset," Dr. Ouchi explains. "But if you don't carry a medication list, I wouldn't know to check for that."List 4 should have all of your emergency contacts. It's a good idea to include more than one person, in case someone isn't available. Include each person's name, phone numbers (cellphone, home phone, office phone), and relationship to you. Tell your emergency contacts in advance that you're putting them on your list.Creating these lists can be very easy. Many medical practices use electronic medical records that can produce all of this information. In fact, some practices give printouts of these lists to patients at the end of an appointment.Legal documentsYour advance directive may be printed on paper or loaded on an electronic device. "Advance directive" is the umbrella term for several types of legal documents, such as the following:A living will, which details the kind of medical care you'd like if you're unable to make your own health care decisions. It may be very specific, explaining if you want any life-sustaining treatments such as antibiotics or dialysis; or it may be more general, simply explaining whether you want to be on life support.A health care proxy form, which names your health care proxy — the person you designate to make your health care decisions if you lack the capacity to make them. This document is sometimes called a durable power of attorney for health care. "Make sure to have a conversation with your proxy and your doctor about what type of care is right for you if you were to get sicker. Without this conversation, the proxy will be at a loss at the time of emergency," Dr. Ouchi says.A POLST form (physician orders for life-sustaining treatment), which complements your living will but is not a legal document. The POLST turns your health care preferences into a medical order that must be followed immediately by doctors, hospital staffers, and paramedics.Which is most important? Dr. Ouchi says it's the POLST or your health care proxy form. "When time is critical and I can't talk to the patient and there's no documentation, it's harder for me to take care of the person. I have a whole list of things I can do to treat them, but they may end up receiving care that's not consistent with their wishes," Dr. Ouchi says.If you don't have an advance directive, these online tools can help get the conversation started: the Conversation Project and also Prepare for Your Care.Supplies and medicationsYou may need to keep supplies or medications handy if you have certain chronic conditions. For example, you may need a quick-acting source of glucose if you have diabetes and experience a drop in blood sugar. "That's crucial," says Dr. Ouchi. "Carry juice or candy. Otherwise you can pass out."It's also a good idea to keep a blood glucose meter handy at all times, so you can check your blood sugar levels and avoid medical emergencies.In addition, we should all have a 325-milligram aspirin tablet available to use in case of heart attack symptoms, such as pain in the chest, arms, jaw, or back; breathlessness; or nausea. Aspirin can slow or stop the formation of a blood clot in a coronary artery that blocks blood flow."If you think you're having a heart attack, chew the aspirin tablet, so it breaks up immediately in the stomach," advises Dr. Ouchi.What you should not do in a medical emergency, warns Dr. Ouchi, is assume you've resolved a problem, avoid calling 911, and stay at home. "If you think something is wrong, come see us," says Dr. Ouchi, "and if you can bring your important documents, all the better."Particularly when you're suddenly sick, it can be easy to forget that. So put together that "go bag" or flash drive, keep it handy, and then grab it when you head for the emergency department.
