Jon Goodhue @ CAB, Gloucester gets love in San Diego!
Hey Joey, so I’ll be performing with my band at the Cape Ann Brewery along with The Runaround on Saturday June 30th, Fiesta weekend. Also, Gloucester got some love in an article in the San Diego Weekly Reader about my work. Check it out. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/jam-session/2012/jun/19/pod-bassist-traa-produces-plays-on-jon-goodhue-ep-/
LYME DISEASE
A lot of people are sick of the warnings about Lyme disease, but I want to share an experience that I hope will make you all take them seriously. Sunday night we admitted a patient to cardiac intensive care who was on life support because of a tick bite he received on Memorial Day weekend. He didn’t recognize the bulls-eye rash that appeared last week. The disease attacked the electric conduction system in his heart and he may well need a permanent pacemaker for the rest of his life, if he survives. We called a med-evac team to take him to a Boston hospital where he is now in serious but stable condition. The saddest part is that Monday was his 16th birthday. His Mom sat outside his room crying while we did compressions, cardioverted him 3 times, administered multiple drugs and inserted the pacemaker. PLEASE dress appropriately when going outside anywhere, not just in the woods, and examine yourself, your kids and pets carefully to look for ticks. If you see the red, circular rash, call a doctor immediately. If this boy had gotten antibiotic therapy a week ago he could have celebrated his birthday at home with his family and friends instead of fighting for his life in ICU.
Good Morning Gloucester
