Quote of the Day

Posted by Chris Spags on September 8th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

There have been a lot of odd “firsts” on Twitter (people tweeting during labor, sports free agency, etc). But here’s a new one…Mediaite reporter Tommy Christopher live-tweeted during his first heart attack.

Approximately at 6pm on Sunday afternoon Christopher wrote, “I gotta be me. Livetweeting my heart attack. Beat that!” Presumably a few minutes later the paramedics arrived to tell Christopher he will be stable after his crisis.

An hour later Christopher joked about needing to own a cardiac cat, referencing a viral video in which a cat is trying to revive his dead feline friend. He also updated his followers about the pain he was feeling, “even after the morphine.”
