Dental assistant, a sweet person, wife and mom, someone I've known for years (I use the dental office she works at) suffered a stroke and had two stents inserted into her carotid artery several months ago. She's been fine since and I spoke to her about things she could do (avoid vegetable oils, for one) and take that might improve the health of her cardiovascular system, asked her to research the topic -- more than I usually do but this really bothered me. I'd like to think she'll be OK for the long term but don't really believe that.
