The Grim Tale of Hypochondriac Heart - A True Story

It is the story of how a young man who contracted the dreaded disease of angina pectoris (acute chest pain) and lived with it through long period of over three decades in his prime of life and miraculously lived another three decades fully ridden of constant chest pain. By proper exercise and through lifestyle changes and following every other recommended norms, he made his heart so strong that made him believe he won't suffer from heart trouble again. Everybody will die. And for dying, some excuse-in the name of disease or whatever-will always be required. In his case, he firmly believed it won't be a heart stroke. Yet he had to undergo open-heart bypass surgery recently. Every case of several periodic tests carried out over a span of couple of years-done by renowned hospitals-confirmed his good heart health. Even a few weeks before the surgery, all the tests found normal. Were all the tests fake? How can we maintain faith in test results? What is wrong and where? Was the surgery really necessary? How we will continue suffering like this? Who is to blame? This is the story how all this happened.
