"Game over, man. Game Over!" Bill Paxton dead at 61!

[Darren.]

Very sad to see Bill Paxton has died due to complications

from surgery at age 61. He was a lot of fun in so many 

roles he played. Of course, most memorable line ever is

his "Game over" from Aliens (at least to me).

 

Way too young.

 

I'd have linked to the video scene, but there are too many

F-bombs...

No way! Man, I loved him in most the movies he was in. Hilarious as Chet, the older brother in Wierd Science. 

[2tall79]

Saw him first in Terminator....loved him ever since....RIP Bill.

[J._Bricker]

Wow, sorry to hear this news! A versatile actor as far as the roles he played, he cracked me up in "True Lies". Prayers to his wife and family 

[NorcalBassin]

Wow, completely shocked and I would have thought he was even younger than that. Every time I saw him I couldn't help but think of Chet. Never heard of him having "life issues" that a lot of Hollywood seems to go through and he always looked pretty healthy. Sad to hear the news and thoughts and prayers to his family.

Being a kid of the 80's he was Chet in Weird Science.

Saw the movie, but didn't remember him in it!

His role in True Lies was fantastic and hilarious.

Great memory.

Major surgery has saved my life on more than one occasion ! And I'd have a crippled hand if not for another !

[bigfruits]

I hated hearing the news of his death this wkend.

 

My favorite of his movies was "A Simple Plan". Check it out if you haven't already.

I understand he had a stroke during/following heart surgery

and died from the stroke.

[jr231]

I know alot of people who didn't make it to 61..  close family included. 

 

Sad for sure.. death always is... I'll take 61 though. 

[RoLo]

 

Surgery is always accompanied by internal hemorrhage, even minor surgery.

Post-operative bleeding is the most common complication of surgery,

where a blood-clot leads to an ischemic stroke. I'm only one person,

yet I know several people who succumbed to a stroke following a surgery.

@RoLo I'm a little confused at what you're getting at.... How many people do you know that surgery saved their life ??? Or improved it drastically... If he was having heart surgery he wasn't going to make it much further anyway... 

 

I tried to do a little research of what you meant when you said surgery is always accompanied by internal hemorrhage... But only turned up results of internal bleeding (and hemroids*) care to elaborate on this ?

I can't answer for @RoLo, but when my 84 year old Dad

had open heart surgery last summer, the surgeon told us

that stroke was/is a very real possibility with that surgery.

Guess it had something to do with the heart literally being

out of the body, the blood going through the circulator thing,

and so forth, creating the risk.

 

Beyond my pay grade to elaborate further as I'm no heart

surgeon. But the friend who did my Dad's surgery was awesome.

I've had my spleen , gallbladder, and tonsils removed all on separate occasions... The spleen was bad.. worse than broken bones and anything else I've went through by far... Happened when I was 16.. and if not for major surgery I definitely would not be here.. beyond thankful for modern medicine . I wouldn't be here ! Which means I wouldn't have gave new life to this world either.. 

 

I've also had a plate and some screws put in my hand. When I punched something I shouldn't have . I'd be a cripple if it wasn't for the surgery I went through ! There was no set it back and it will heal I needed the plate to take place of the bone.. thankful for this as well.. 

 

Obviously, sometimes surgeries get botched and complicate things worse than they were... But most of the people getting surgery don't have a choice. And would be much worse off if they didn't have the option

I think you need another lobotomy..the first one is wearing off.  ?

@deaknh03 what I really need is for you to come pack and cut a bunch of hardiebacker for me tomorrow.

@RoLo I'm a little confused at what you're getting at

 

 

Wasn't “Getting At” anything, just offering a fact.

Again, I've personally known ‘several’ people who died as a result of an ischemic stroke

caused by post-operative blood-clotting. Not all were the result of heart surgery, and one

was due to hip surgery which was followed by an occluded carotid artery.

It goes without saying, I’d be a lot happier if that were not true, but it’s a real-world fact.

 

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/100/6/642.short

Background—Stroke after cardiac surgery is a devastating complication that leads to excess mortality and health resource utilization. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for perioperative stroke, including strokes detected early after cardiac surgery or postoperatively.   

Conclusions—Most strokes after cardiac surgery occurred after initial uneventful recovery from surgery. Women were at higher risk to suffer early and delayed perioperative strokes. Atrial fibrillation had no impact on postoperative stroke rate unless it was accompanied by low cardiac output syndrome.

 

 

http://www.annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-4975(02)04370-9/abstract

Results

Overall incidence of stroke was 4.6% and varied between surgical procedures (CABG 3.8%; beating-heart CABG 1.9%; aortic valve surgery 4.8%; mitral valve surgery 8.8%; double or triple valve surgery 9.7%; CABG and valve surgery 7.4%). Of 63 patient-specific and treatment variables, 54 were found to have a significant univariate association with postoperative stroke.

for surgical patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Unless you’re a young man, none of this should come as any surprise to you.

"Leads to excess mortality"..interesting turn of phrase.
