The acutes we are getting seem to be younger and younger lately.   My last was in his early 50’s, with not a lot of risk factors, but a penchant for Nicorette gum.  And for awhile there it seemed that we had a run on 40-somethings.

What is going on??  I think it must be all of the McDonald’s, Burger Kings, Wendy’s, KFC’s, the list goes on and on, catching up with us.  Time will tell, I guess?  It’s a little scary, though, especially when I see how much my own kids love their fast food.  And don’t think I’m letting myself off the hook either.  I love my french fries dipped in my vanilla shake.  Ugh.  Sign me up for a stress test…here comes that chest pain.
