Wouldn't have helped, I think. But I wish it could. Just get him to the hospital sooner and that could have helped.

Unfortunatly even when you are in the hospital when this happens and everyone around you is aware of what's happening fast enough to act, it's probably still fatal. Often times this happens deep inside the brain, there is no way to get someone into brain surgery fast enough. And even if somehow the doctors can get in there, often there is nothing to be done. If it's deep in the brain, there is no good way of getting in there without causing a lot of damage and depending on the exact situation it can't even be fixed.
It's just one of those really sad things that happens without anybody being able to do something about it.
This is unfortunatly common in my family and I've had family members eating themselves up about it, if they just acted faster and got them to the hospital faster. But everyone from the hospital side was very clear about this, there is nothing that anyone could have done.
Honestly, that sounds like it could give a modicum of comfort in a fucked up situation. Nothing you did did in any way contribute to the tragedy that happened.
Fair, but it's still painful.
there is anything somebody could have done to actively prevent that from happening?
Alas no, brain aneurysms don't have to have any outward symptoms at all until they strike, and then you're dead within minutes.
You can spot some issues before they kill you if you have a brain scan, but as you've got no symptoms, why would you be having a brain MRI once a month?
So, alas, it's a silent, deadly killer. One day you just drop dead for seemingly no reason.
RIP Grant, you were fuckin rad.
My grandfather had an aneurysm and miraculously survived, ended up living another 15 years or so. Had Parkinsons too
So I have two cool things to look forward to
Depends. If he had an AVM (arteriovenous malformation) then that could perhaps have been treated. But finding one without before having an aneurysm is really hard. So you would need time travel + a way to convince everyone that he had an AVM and they needed to find out where it was. If he had one.
If there is, we don't know enough about the brain and how it works to find out, let alone implement it
Stroke != Brain Aneurysm
Not that you want to give aspirin for a stroke either
My - very - limited searching was that it at least had a small preventative impact.
Gonna waste a time machine trip just to kill Grant faster?

Those girls with the Time Machine wouldnβt even plot against Trump, which they could do right now. They wonβt ever use that Time Machine.
Are you mad at fictional characters for their hypothetical hypocrisy lmao
Time to go gaze at a plant
I misread that with "graze" and thought about just grasing off this yearβs salads
I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something "which they could do right now".
This kind of is that, taking out his fav role model,
Going after someone after the spotlight is on them is a lot harder
Maybe they're NOT USian.
I like this meme format more when it kinda makes fun of the og format of it being pointlessly gendered
Good twist on the usual template.
My wife would think of this way sooner than me tbh if we had a time machine
Finally, a non misogynistic usage of this template.
