Shut the Fuck Up, Already!

Sorry. I really want to scream that at certain people but can't.

Why is it that healthy people with no medical background feel free to give you advice on coping with a disease so rare and little understood that even the best cardiovascular specialists in the world are generally left scratching their heads?

Why is it that healthy people with no medical background think smiling is going to make the pain go away when your arteries are spasming, cutting off the flow of oxygen to your heart?

Why is it that healthy people with no medical background think they can tell you that you're going to live another 35 years when the best medical advice available is to prepare for your impending death as best you can?

Why is it that healthy people with no medical background feel the need to do the above REPEATEDLY?!

I haven't the foggiest clue, but for all those healthy people with no medical backgrounds, I have a resounding "Shut the Fuck Up, Already!"
