The document discusses two situations: silent heart attacks and tsunamis. For silent heart attacks, the situation is that many occur without obvious symptoms. The problem is that people dismiss possible symptoms due to costs or embarrassment. The solution is increasing public awareness of symptoms so people seek early medical help. For tsunamis, the situation is they are created by underwater earthquakes or eruptions displacing water.
2. SITUATION A significant number of heart attack happen so quietly that the patient shows little or no reaction because he/she is not even aware of it! The reason: it doesnt have typical symptoms and is unrecognised. Unrecognised myocardial infarctions colloquially called silent heart attacks are fairlycommon,
3. SIT-TSUNAMIS How Tsunamis Are Created Tsunamis are generated when a large amount of water is displaced very quickly. These phenomena include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and even meteorite impacts. However, the most common cause is an undersea earthquake. Tsunamis can also be created when the sea floor abruptly moves at a fault in the earths crust.
5. PROBLEM Many people dismiss possible symptoms because they think doctors and hospitals cost time and money. Some fear embarrassment if their pain turns out to be nothing more than a gastric problem/physical fatigue.
7. SOLUCTION The patient must recognise the symptoms and report at the earliest to the nearest medical facility. This requires public awareness and health education. Increasing public awareness regarding the symptoms of a heart attack,improving health education,The media can play a major role in this.
