The doctor did mention in an aside that this was only in certain cases.I'm willing to bet there is a better chance of being struck by lightening but the patient involved did have a cardiac arrest at 30 and needed a triple bypass.No word on whether or not the man's heart was bad before but then that would be responsible and this was an obvious attempt by an anti drug doctor to scare people away from cocaine.The doctor said he was concerned that this was happening more and more.Funny it wasn't epidemic in the 80's when every bill in US currency showed traces of cocaine.This was another example of a doctor pandering his personal bias against drug use by inviting the media to watch a surgery and to vent while doing so.
