I dont think you need to ski at Snowqualamie.
AED/CPR already saved YOUR life. You could have misdiagnosed yourself and gone home to sleep off your FLU (save the copay).
The recommendations for stabilizers and statins and betablockers and ACEinhibitors/ARBs are founded on studies of tens of thousands of men and women compiled by the universities and teaching hospitals and yes even the evil drug companies over a couple decades. They are still coming up with more data and always modifying the recommendations several times a year.
Keep it simple: floss your teeth daily, 1 hour daily minimum cardio, weight lifting three days a week, loose weight, give up your ciggarettes and pot and ADHD meds, and never take viagra with your nitroglycerine!!!
Youll get stronger and stronger and pretty soon you will earn your turns again...
