Cardiologist told me I needed open heart surgery right away and to go straight to the hospital. I told him I wanted a second opinion so he turns to me and says:
Well, you're ugly too.
Seriously tho... I did get a second opinion and I got a call from the doctor told me to get my azz into her office right away - she sat me down ( after a bunch of tests ) and said I had a 25% chance of a fatal heart attack in the next year. Told me I had 2 choices, open heart surgery or change my diet - so I chose door number 2.
Went vegan for the last 8 months and honestly it isn't that bad. I do have visitation rights with some meats ( chicken / salmon ) now and again but the hard stuff I had to let go of.
I feel better for it too.
