The Apple Watch is called « amazing » by a man whose life was saved by the timepiece as doctors discovered blood clots all over his lungs.
Cleveland’s News5 (via 9to5Mac) recently ran a story about a man named Ken Counihan who loved to use his Apple Watch. With the device on his wrist, Counihan would track his workouts and listen to music using his Apple timepiece. « I am very active and I do — I like to keep track of what I’m doing — calorie stuff. I’ll take it off and charge it so that I can wear it during the day…I wear it to bed as well — keep track of sleep too. »
But the routine that Ken had with his Apple Watch changed last October. He tells the story. « I got an alert back in October that my breathing was elevated. So basically you have a certain number of breaths per minute, basically said I went from 14 to 17 or 18, » Counihan said. « My wife had me make a phone call to my son and he suggested I go to the outpatient care, get it looked at, which is what I did. And they just did an X-ray. And they gave me some meds for bronchitis at the time. »
So Counihan figured that despite the warning from his Apple Watch, he got off fairly easy (bronchitis isn’t a walk in the park, but it beats having a serious heart ailment).
