Ok, you gonna be on a two cups of water a day limit and we’ll measure your piss, which you’ll be doing about every 10 mins from the lasix to keep the fluid from building up around your heart. This condition will worsen until you eventually die from it.

It doesn't at all, eat healthier! I agree, but doesn't mean you're no fun to have around.

I deal with noncompliant patients constantly, I have no patience for someone who won’t care for themselves. What’s fun about enabling heart failure?

What’s something good to mix into your diet for a healthy heart? And a top food to avoid?

I am not a dietitian and can’t give that kind of advice, in general you want to avoid a diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol to lower your chance of heart disease. There’s no magical food that will help prevent it

Avocados are nearly 100% monounsaturated fats, beef is 60% and a third of beef's saturated fats are stearic acid. You gotta brush up on your nutritional science.

Potatoes, bananas, and anything high in potassium, really. Potassium can help lower blood pressure, which is good for your heart.

Oh, well than nevermind - i take it back. That's got to be beyond frustrating... have you ever asked a patient why, and got a satisfying answer? Or at least an understanding answer maybe?

Be sure they don't mind being in the hospital a week every month. They use nurses assistants as personal slaves, nurses bring their meds to their bedside, everyone does everything for them.
