From IMDB: A doctor is blamed for a train wreck that killed two dozen people because he had just certified the engineer, who had suffered a fatal heart attack right before the crash, as fit for duty. To make up for the damage to his reputation, the doctor now hopes to develop a new cardiogram that will detect heart attacks from a distance.

This one amazes me for the simple reason that it's about a doctor who comes up with the idea of a cardio monitor that a person can wear as he goes about his daily activities, so that the cardiologist can see any data that shows a problem during the patient's day's activities.

Why does that amaze me?

Because in 2012 I spent twenty-four hours wearing just such a device, with sensors all over my chest and wires which sent data to the portable unit.

The data was digitally recorded, and after I returned the device to the doctor, he reviewed it for problems.

His conclusion: I had a heart 'o gold, and it was as big as all outdoors . . . even though it had been broken twice by two ex-wives. Sad

But by God, I swear I'll out live 'em both! Laughing
