Lewis, you went to the hospital and had tests run where they found you had had a heart attack, right? I would think that if you had medical records showing where you had a heart attack during the time you were driving, your company could not hold you responsible for a preventable accident. Tell me you have the medical records showing the heart attack… either way I doubt it’s an event you’ll lose your job over. If you drove into the median, I’m guessing you simply needed a tow back onto pavement. Definitely not a career-ender. Best of luck to you, and I hope you’re taking steps to never having another heart attack again. Thank goodness that the result of having a heart attack while driving was you simply ending up in the median; could have been a lot worse.
