Prior to the procedure I had episodes of unstable angina (chest pain) and a “small heart attack”. I went home the following day and have had zero chest pain since. I actually returned to work 2 days after the stent procedure (I was told to avoid stress and I was stressed about not working). Diet was never mentioned. No onerous recovery reported, in fact he wrote he was back to work 2 days after his procedure. > [@At what point would YOU want to pull the plug on YOURSELF?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/at-what-point-would-you-want-to-pull-the-plug-on-yourself/984475/59): > > Seven years ago(?) I was having unstable angina attacks and actually had one or more small heart attacks. I had some diagnostics done and was about to have a catheterization procedure to (hopefully) place a stent. The cardiologist explained that if my coronary artery disease was severe, then a stent would not work and I’d need to go straight into bypass surgery. I had already decided that I wasn’t going to have any major invasive surgery, and I told him that. He explained that I could die as… Here he is considering that given his quantity of years left, he would prefer not to have major invasive surgery that would compromise his quality of life. Seems like a reasonable response, not a death wish. Really people, y’all are projecting way too much about his motivations for putting the sdmb on ignore. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-missing-that-you-really-want-to-see-on-the-board/914010)._
