Section 7: “Like Cancer or Other Illnesses...”
...Heart Attacks Have Beginnings. Why do we say this? Well, if your friend told you they had a lump in their breast, would you tell them to ignore it?
Of course not.
Some will say not all heart attacks have early signs and symptoms. And we agree. But if you would encourage someone to seek medical care when they tell you about a suspicious lump, we encourage you to apply the same logic to a possible heart attack.
If your neighbor’s house was on fire, would you delay in calling the fire department? Of course not.
Both are life-threatening events.
