In the office of Dr Jeilan Mohamed, Director of Cardiology Services at Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi, I ask what is the leading cause of heart attacks.
He mumbles some technical jargon that evaporates as soon as it hits my air space because I am itching to tell him the leading cause of heart attacks is hearts. Because without the heart you cannot have a heart attack. He laughs because a) it’s funny but b) while he is serious with his work, he doesn’t have to be serious while at work.
