Unless you can stop your own heart beat, faking a heart attack in a room full of people including some who may have medical emergency training is probably not the best thing to do.
I would have gone with the old “popping a few Alka-Seltzer in my mouth and act like I have rabies” trick instead.
I have to applaud the man for keeping in character though he clearly wasn’t fooling anyone. That’s dedication to the craft.

July 12th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
ok, a heart attack is NOT when your heart stops, thats called cardiac arrest, heart attack is when a corinary artery in the heart is blocked. Your heart still beats

Dumbass
July 13th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I’d love to see the rest of that. That dude is very committed. If only he put that energy into not breaking the law.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:11 am
fucking hilarious. What an idiot! Stumbled.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Typical…
July 15th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Man that’s crazy. I can’t believe they could tell he was faking it, lol.
July 15th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
stumbled on it. man i wish they showed what happened next, i wanna meet him, he’s probably pretty funny
July 15th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
the only thing that could have made this funnier is if he got up at the end and got all pissed.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:34 am
srsly - lets see a link to the full vid.

Stumbled. loser. i think hes dorky!
July 20th, 2008 at 6:21 am
only in Eugene
July 21st, 2008 at 11:04 pm
This is so funny…he is very dedicated to faking his way thru the trial. I wouldn’t have been able to keep a straight face…the man is funny and stupid.
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Lol. Man somewhat an original idea, and dedication to the act, but there comes a time when its time to cut your losses. When trying to fool people who have medically trained people to call any bluff you have, its time to give up the act.
Man, this is lol.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I wish there was a follow-up. Quite hilarious. Any info at all. I wonder if he scored the mistrial or not? Doubtful
July 28th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
OMG that was pure fail on his part.
Bravo for sticking through his plan, but some people are just idiots.
July 29th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I hope he opens a practice!!!! His practice would soooooo get me off the hook!!!!
August 9th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I wonder what he was on trial for?
August 10th, 2008 at 12:17 am
shopped!!
August 10th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
This was soooo fucking painful to watch.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Hey thats my Birthday! awesome.
August 15th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
i like his suit. i hear he did 45 years in the pooper.
August 17th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I think he should have a neurology evaluation. Was a Doc on hand to make a *qualified* diagnosis ? I wonder what he is accused of. I’d call it a mistrial.
August 17th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
The defendent needs a Dr. and a Lawyer as it seems he was defending himself. EMTs, nurse, and medics are not doctors.
August 21st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
he is was convicted of felonious assault and other charges. He is now serving a 42-year prison sentence.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:38 am
he is not smart he was in a room full of medically trained people
August 26th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
funny
September 7th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
stumbled. This is not funny. It’s a very serious infliction that a very good friend of mine suffers from. It’s called being an idiot. Lol. That trick may come in handy when he drops the soap though.
September 9th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I agree with NAMBURSE (both of ‘em) …I had this same thing happen to me and couldnt do a thing about it - not the trial or the charges - an episode where i had no control over what/when/how my body was. Not only had i spent time in hospital but with specialist, MRI’s,scans,blood work.
And with further complications - and increase of original symptoms…
If i felt at all inclinded to go into the story to come to defense of a man who may/may not have faked - gawd, it’d be a moment where i cared what others - other citizens of the world - thought… f**k.
do we not care anymore? Who cares if the guy is lying, give him some attention and find the root of the problem. Either way, FIND TE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
obvious evidence was presented in this video for him.
September 11th, 2008 at 5:13 am
Ahahaha I stumbled here. This guy has something seriously wrong with him. It’s called dumb ass disease. I applaud his sticking with the ruse even though he was clearly faking it.*wipes tears from eyes*.Good laugh.
September 11th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
It is quite plausible to increase ones own heart rate past 120 beats per minute and elevate blood pressure enough to fake a heart attack I wouldn’t reccomend doing so. I have done the trick with my blood pressure before it always pissed off my docs seeing a reading of 200 over 150 then remeasuring and getting 90 over 50. I always love fucking with the docs, my favorite thing to do is eat asparagus before going in to do a urinalysis test I always come up clean for drugs I don’t use them but the stench of the urine makes the lab monkeys gag.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:50 am
im speechless. this is the dumbest dude i’ve ever seen in my entire life. i kinda feel sorry for him and… i dunno is kinda cute in a way, like retard people and baby cheempanzees.
September 12th, 2008 at 6:04 am
stumbled.. what a f*cking retard!! hahaha! probably couldnt fake a cough when that dude was in middle school.. hahaha!
September 12th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
…genius!
September 14th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
You can tell by what the judge says that there is prior knowledge of this defendant’s behavior, and they expected such a display–and even so he was checked out by medics and nurses. The comments here that say he should have been treated better or been given a doctor and lawyer are missing the point. He was treated perfectly fairly and appropriately.
September 16th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
To make it real he should have pissed his pants.
September 19th, 2008 at 10:52 am
stumbled here…
this is funny.
He has some issues to think he could actually pull that off
September 19th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Stumbled!! Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah lol
September 20th, 2008 at 6:33 am
Are you sure he doesn’t have narcolepsy?
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:01 am
Now THAT’S commitment!
September 23rd, 2008 at 3:14 am
@ metisdad the root of the problem was he was guilty motherfucker
October 5th, 2008 at 2:22 pm

October 16th, 2008 at 8:04 am
As a paramedic of 15 years, I can tell he is having an acute case of Status Theatricus. Serious stuff.
