Abstract
Introduction: I do not have an original offering for this week. In honour of February being American Heart Month, I offer up a story I wrote 12 years ago about an incident in my early years fresh out of residency in private practice. Heart disease is complicated. We do so many "rule outs" proving that a person did not have a heart attack and then we send them on their way. While true heart disease is incredibly prevalent and serious, so too are the many other things that break our hearts. This story is about this latter kind of heart disease.
