I'm not indifferent; it's just that there's nothing I can tell you that your
doctor won't already know. Eat less, eat healthy, exercise, take an aspirin a
day, etc, etc. By "virtue" of being the leading cause of death, heart
attacks are well-understood.

I'm not entirely unfamiliar with that. I've had a stroke and gone to the
hospital unable to walk straight, speak clearly, write, or distingush between
dream and reality. I was informed that this was AIDS, and when it became
clear it wasn't that, that it was an inoperable brain tumor (it wasn't that
either). As it developed, it was just a stroke (embolic or migrainous), and
a small one, and I recovered. Although the experience changed my faith in
doctors' accuracy, it didn't change my non-faith in God(s).
