Have I told this story? About five or six years ago, I admitted myself
to hospital for chest pains.
They quickly determined that I was not having a heart attack but wanted
to hold me over anyway, because of a history of heart problems in my
family.
So, they decided they were going to do an angiogram. And I had to sign a
consent, that if they found blockage, they would install a stent. I
really did not want a stent in my body. But everything was happening so
fast, that I agreed.
And I remember going under. I think they had me hum a few bars of a
country song. I lasted less than 10 seconds as I recall.
But I came back clean. No stent. I mention this because I eat a rich
diet. A lot of cream cheese on bagels (often with lox). A ton of (real)
butter with my bread. Cereal with a half and half, or even real cream
(along with some skim milk that the rest of the family drinks)
And then a friend (and customer) of mine, who is considerably heavier
than me, and eats a lot of fried foods, also had the angiogram, and came
back clean.
Luck of the draw, or genes, I guess.
