Hilarious comment on that:
--- Quote ---"If you pulled all the city buses and police cruisers and did the same thing they did to us, it would be the same issues, know what I'm saying?" NO, Mr Cook, I DON'T!!!! We are REQUIRED by law to inspect our buses every time we use them, and we DO NOT use unsafe equipment. If something is broken, it is taken out of service & the mechanics fix it before that bus moves again. Those same mechanics also work on the police vehicles, and they DO A GREAT JOB! Please refrain from insulting the hard working drivers and mechanics at the MTA. Our vehicles cannot be compared to the deathtraps I see driving around with "Taxi" written on them.

--- Quote ---Panic attacks, heart attacks linked in study
Mon Oct 1, 6:32 PM ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) - People who experience the anxiety, racing heartbeat and rapid breathing of a panic attack have a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, researchers said on Monday.
"Our study adds panic attacks to the list of emotional states and psychiatric symptoms that have been linked to excess risk of cardiovascular disease and death," wrote study author Dr. Jordan Smoller of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Previous research found people with persistent feelings of depression, anger and hostility are at higher risk of heart attack, according to the study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
The study identified a more than three-fold increased risk of a heart attack or stroke within five years in 330 women who had originally reported a panic attack in the prior six months. They were among 3,369 women aged 51 to 83 to participate in the study.
Smoller said several factors may be at work, including that the symptoms of panic attacks inflict damage on the heart and the cardiovascular system.
Feelings of panic could induce blood platelet production that increases the risk of a blood clot, which can trigger a heart attack or stroke. Panic attacks also may lead to a spasm of an artery feeding the heart, which can reduce or cut off blood flow, he added.

Fucking christ... I made that connection myself when I was 14. I figure, if you're having a panic attack, one step beyond is probably a heart attack...
Fucking waste.
