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).
