Cronin:Unruptured Aneurysm

[BoatShow]

All joking aside this is scary stuff. Hope he gets well soon.

Glad they caught it. link

Good call for him not to try to coach.

Good friend of mine died this year from one. No telling signs, hope to see Mick soon on the sidelines.

 

[Kitaman]

Does his intensity lead to this? If so I don't see him coaching any other way.

Article says he gets a lot of headaches:

It's amazing he hasn't blown it out if it's been there awhile. I'm assuming the cardiovascular system behaves in the same way as a pressurized hydraulic system, which it probably doesn't.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Not surprised, considering how crazy he gets at times. He is going to HAVE to turn it down a few notches now that he knows he has one. It's a ticking time bomb if he doesn't.

Wow. He's real lucky they caught that.
Hope he gets better soon.

It can't help that's for sure........he looked like a tick the other day ready to be popped when he called a TO.

Hope he gets better fast!

The guy is a lunatic on the sideline. That said, this is just a sport. Best wishes to him and his family on a speedy recovery.

We've discussed his temperamental nature on this board so it's not surprising. My uncle was told he had an aneurysm and needed surgery but wanted to wait until after the holidays to avoid ruining the holidays (in fairness, it was going to be risky brain surgery). He collapsed and died while Christmas shopping. I hope for the best for Cronin.

A ruptured one killed my brother. This is a condition not to be taken lightly and I hope Cronin paces himself and stays safe.

It killed my 6 year old nephew in the 70's. Parents took him to the ER they examined him ,no diagnosis,sent him home where he died inhis sleep. His 9 year old sister went to wake him for breakfast. So sad.

 

[superjohn]

Glad they caught it early, I've always liked Cronin.

 

[formerlurker]

He's good for the game and the AAC needs as many "personalities" it can get. Good to hear they caught it early.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Got my Mom too. I have some doubts he'll be back this year
