Everything was in German until the head professor came and told me in English after I was past the danger, "just in time."

Just keep in mind, better like this BEFOREHAND than after a serious infarction, when they wheel you into the emergency room, and maybe afterward to the morgue. It's REALLY better the "before" way.

I could still keel over dead from a cardiac incident any second, but I've had 11 pretty cool years in the meantime, and I wouldn't have if I had put off treatment.

So go have them do what they gotta do, and come back for another round on the flip side.
