Vice President Cheney is alive today thanks to modern medical technology and you have to admit luck. Even when the technology is brilliant and the doctor's superb you can't cheat death five times without lady luck. No question we've come a long way in understanding and treating heart disease in the last fifty years - from First Lady Mamie Eisenhower being urged by the White House doctor to cuddle President Eisenhower to keep him warm during his heart attack up to a brand new, spanking heart for VP Cheney. Yeah we've come a long way alright. Still, the best treatment is NO treatment. That's right. You heard me. Avoid it. Avoid it all. You can. How? Don't smoke. Watch your weight. Exercise. Otherwise you'll end up being Vice President Cheney with five heart attacks. And you may not be as lucky as him.
