In New Book, Cheney Recalls 5 Heart Attacks and His Brush With Death
WASHINGTON Former Vice President Dick Cheney was so close to death in 2010 that he said farewell to his family members and instructed them to have his body cremated and the ashes returned to Wyoming, he writes in a new book on his long battle with heart disease
Cheney ultimately survived the emergency surgery that night and went on to have a heart transplant at age 71 that has left him re-energized five years after leaving office. But for the first time, he describes a 35-year medical struggle that he kept generally private in vivid personal detail.

The book is Heart: An American Medical Odyssey, I will read it. I don't agree with any of his BS politically but this will be interesting.
