I'm sure many of us have heard this. I guess if heart disease showed on our faces, we wouldn't need cardiologists! It's difficult to just ignore offensive comments from people that are sure your illness is your own fault. "Well, maybe you should be exercising" or "That's what you get from smoking all those years" arrgh......frustrating, even though I know people like that shouldn't be listened to anyway.
