(63,912 posts)a couple of years ago when I was visitng my daughter on Martha's Vineyard I had a minor health emergency and she took me to the ER. My doc told me about Sawyer bringing Nichols into the ER for heart problems and he was such a sick guy. I'm not really surprised that he died...from what I gleaned from the ER doc...

care field.
My OB--back in the day some 30 years ago--also had Zsa Zsa Gabor for a patient,
and although he never revealed any medical info, he told me about his
difficulties with collecting his bill. She thought she was such a hot shot celebrity that she was entitled to free care!
