About this episode

Kelsey Grammer had just been stand-up paddling when he started feeling dizzy, and then a crushing pain led him to believe he might be having a heart attack. Grammer was in Hawaii, and he had to wait an hour and a half for an ambulance. His heart suffered some damage in that time, and he has had to work hard to recover. He recalls learning the procedure that would save his life might also kill him, and declaring he wasn’t ready to die.
