The Silent Killer: Rising Number of Crises Kills Thousands
The US Drug Administration and the Surgeon General’s Office released a co-authored publication this week on the dangers of crisis. The publication, titled "This Book Will Kill You and Your Children," outlines causes and side effects of crisis and its role in our everyday life.
When asked, Ivette Marisela, professor of crisis analysis and prevention at the University of Sao Paulo, explained, "This is a very serious threat to the everyday life of most Americans, although seems to have very little impact on anyone else. According to our studies, Americans are 65% more susceptible to injury and illness due to crises."
Crisis often happens suddenly, with little or no warning, and can overwhelm even the most prepared. While the leading cause of crisis is crisis, many crises are side effects of major catastrophes, but may also come about due to untreated dilemmas.
Kimball Henderson, 38, was left in a coma for six months when late-onset and regenerative crises suddenly struck him in his sleep at his home in Eagle, Idaho.
"I’m lucky to be alive," said Henderson, "The doctors said I would never walk again. It’s been a hard couple of years, but we’re hopeful."
"We, as Americans, need to realize," said President Bush on the subject.
"There are many, very distinct, strains of crisis, which is why we have been so unsuccessful in the cultivation of reliable vaccine," pondered Dr. Uland Everett Trueman, Jr, who, played a research scientist on General Hospital in the late 1980s, then went on to head up the Fear and Crisis Unit (FCU) at Johns Hopkins University. He continued, "Most recently, we’ve seen a sharp increase in economic and environmental crises, but health, energy, education, crime, food or even a water crisis … these are all out there and could hit us at any time. I’ve even heard that prison population could become a big problem for us later this year."
Dr. Trueman has release a book titled, "You Should Be Afraid and Here’s Why: 101 Things That Are Trying to Kill You Right Now." In it, he describes the various methods that can be used to increase your chances of surviving a crisis attack.
"It’s important to seek help immediately. If nobody is around, maybe you’re on a lake by yourself, or standing on the roof of an abandoned apartment building with only a box of road flares to keep you warm, your best chance is to rub peanut butter on your thighs and do as many jumping-jacks as you can … in accordance with state and local laws. Above all else you need to remember that this is it. You’re a goner."
