Is the condition system different in the States? I thought critical and stable were two different conditions that didn't go together, or am I thinking of something else.
In Canada I seem to recall there's critical, and serious, but stable condition with critical often being downgraded to stable.

That really sucks. You hate to see guys that are in good health have heart attacks really young.

From the Interwebs:
A wide range of terms are often used to describe a patient's condition in the United States. The American Hospital Association advises physicians to use the following one-word conditions in describing a patient's condition to those inquiring, including the media.
Undetermined
Patient awaiting physician and/or assessment.
Good
Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent.
Fair
Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable.
Serious
Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is seriously ill. Indicators are questionable.
Critical
Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.
Dead
Vital signs are persistently absent.
Other terms used include grave, extremely critical, critical but stable, serious but stable, guarded, satisfactory, and others.
A frequently cited condition is stable. Typically, stable is not a condition on its own; it is usually a qualifier applied to an aforementioned condition. It is commonly used to denote conditions where a patient has a favorable prognosis or stable vital signs. The American Hospital Association has advised doctors not to use the word "stable" either as a condition or in conjunction with another condition, especially one that is critical, because a critical condition inherently implies unpredictability and the instability of vital signs. Despite this, "critical but stable" conditions are frequently reported, likely because the word "critical" in mainstream usage is often used to denote a condition that is severe and immediately life-threatening.

Ah, so it looks like critical but stable is an accurate update. I guess it's just not commonly used in reporting here in Canada. Thanks for the detailed info.

Ran into Ryan at work yesterday. Craig seems to have rebounded. He is still in the hospital, but he's in stable condition. Apparently his heart began beating out of sync or something to that effect. The doctors are talking about installing a pacemaker or something like that. Ryan is considering one too as they don't know whether this this is hereditary or not.

The device is likely an implantable defibrillator that would shock him back into regular rhythm if it happened again.

If this was just one of those things just waiting to happen due to an underlying genetic issue, it's probably fortunate that it happened where it did and not at home or on the street. Glad to hear he is doing better.
My mother passed away from something like this when I was young. Just one of those things that you never know if or when it can happen even to a seemingly healthy person.

I am SO relieved to hear this for Heather, Ryan, and Mitch. I can't imagine how terrified they have been over the last few weeks. Ryan has been so stoic since everything has happened.

Incredible story. If this would have happened almost anywhere else in the world the outcome would likely have been fatal. What a miraculous effort for all involved to save this young mans life.
