Smart man. Get it done before Obamacare kicks in.

No telling what those death panels will decide when it comes to who gets what treatment.

Thank you, Howard Dean, for exposing the death panels.

So all those good tests of a few years back don't really mean a damn thing.

Doctors p*** me off.

My best friend just keeled over and died on the golf course...The doctor missed it.

I know quite a few fitness buffs that make bad “kitchen” decisions.(alcohol, junk food, etc)

Medicine, and doctors, aren't infallible. Sorry for your loss...but sometimes it just happens..and about those tests...we're learning more and more that many health problems..i.e. cholesterol, heart disease are genetic...a healthy lifestyle does nothing in those cases.

You should consider joining the "Michel Jazy Society." Jazy was a very good French middle distance runner..he won a silver medal in the 1500 meters at the 1960 Olympics. He smoked TWO packs of Gauloises, and drank 3 LITERS of wine, EVERY DAY..

Of course, there are those quacks who would dare to ask....how good could he have been if he didn't drink and smoke?

He has platinum life time health care at our expense. But knowing GW’s habits he probably uses his own wealth rather than our tax dollars for his health care.

Goes to show even a person who looks and works hard can have heart or health issues.

There is no way that a sudden blood clot can be accurately predicted.

Years ago, I suffered a heart attack that literally came out of nowhere—no symptoms at all. Luckily, I made it by ambulance to a local hospital in time and the cardiologist on call knew exactly what to do. I was in the operating room before I knew what was going on.

The doc placed 3 stents in my heart at that time. That was 8 or 9 years ago. In the intervening years, I have had stents placed in my legs due to slow blood flow, but have been healthy otherwise.

Doctors certainly don’t p*** me off, though I don’t have the need to visit them often. There’s a GP here in our little town that I see maybe twice a year.

Now that I’m in my late 70’s, I think I am very blessed.

PS—I think it’s all a matter of what’s in your genes..

He did speak out about it - but only a few weeks ago.

Yeah. I know. I was just being a smart ass.

It was just a set up for the Howard Dean crack.

A double dose of sarcasm.

Test can read false positives too and then you end up getting treated for something you don’t have. When in doubt seek 2nd opinion.

Same thing happened to my dad on the way back from a fishing trip. He’d just been to the doc.

Tests are only so good

Many cardiac events remain relative spontaneous and due to many unpredictable stimuli

Many otherwise fit folks have cardiac threatening events

Were you told you have good circulation but your legs hurt before the stents went in?
