I’d rather die in my sleep. Heart attacks sound painful.
There are two kinds of heart attacks, ones that are painful and give you enough time to seek treatment. The other kind, one minute your there, the next minute you are not.
Given the improvments in treatment of acute MI, I would prefer the former. 25 years ago, I would have said the opposite.
Compared to cancer, I would take either.
I want to pass peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did - not screaming in terror like the passengers on his bus.
