I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
The pain thing can be deceptive. I had a heart attack myself very nearly a year ago and afterwards friends and family would ask me about the pain which I was happy to tell them was uncomfortable rather than sheer agony. Only later, when recalling my first discussions with the staff at A+E (ER) did I remember a doctor asking me to rate the pain on a scale of one-to-ten. Eight or nine was what I told them. Morphine is a wonderful thing! |

We have the big "fuck cancer" meme going on here in the Cellar (and I wholeheartedly agree since a friend is losing her fight with it) but it's easy to forget that the number one cause of death for American women is coronary heart disease. It's not even close.

Morphine is an excellent choice for heart attack victims. It decreases the hearts need for O2 as well as controlling the pain.
