For many people, a single, sharp head pain would be something noticed but ultimately ignored. No medical consultation, no trip to the emergency room, no panic over what might have caused that feeling.

And Irishman John Hassett reacted in much the same way to his own headache, until a voice told him that it could be something more serious. The voice wasn’t coming from his own head or from a concerned loved one, though – it was coming from his radio.

Hassett, 63, wasn’t always averse to seeking medical attention for something that appeared minor. In fact, a family tragedy had once made him obsessed with seeking a doctor’s opinion for “every little pain” he felt, Hassett subsequently told The Independent.

“My wife died from cervical cancer aged 35, and I was left with our two young kids, then aged just six and eight years old,” he explained. “They were so young and I was petrified of every little pain I’d get and used to persecute the doctors, running to them convinced I had cancer.”

Eventually, he was able to assuage his fear that he, too, would be unexpectedly struck by a fatal illness. “It was all in my head,” he said. “Slowly, over time, I convinced myself there was nothing to worry about.”

On top of that, Hassett had made an effort to lead a healthy, active lifestyle – with the occasional indulgence, of course. “I was always out during the day, climbing mountains and cycling, and I tried to eat healthily,” he continued. Nonetheless, he’d often end his days with a glass of whiskey or wine and a cigar.

It could have been these habits, plus a tendency to have difficulty sleeping, that led Hassett to very occasionally experience severe head pains. He suffered them twice, in fact. First in 2013 and then again in 2017, when he also heard a radio warning that made him realize that his symptoms were serious.

On the first occasion, Hassett was partaking in one of his favorite activities. “I’d been out cycling … got a puncture and had to carry the bike back to the car,” he recalled. “Suddenly, there was this surge of pressure in my head. Not painful exactly, but an awful sensation. Then it was gone. It was the only one, and I soon forgot about it.”

The second time was different, though. Hassett had hopped out of the pool after going swimming and “felt a brief, sharp pain in [his] head.” He said, “It’s hard to describe, but it felt like a surge that was there for a split second, leaving me feeling faint, and then gone.”

At that point, however, he wasn’t paying too much to his symptoms. But as he drove home from the swimming pool, he felt a second wave of the strange pain. And then, he heard it: a radio ad for a round-the-clock cardiac health center. Its content was eerily familiar to Hassett.
