The Heart Attack (Ep. 211)

George believes he is having a heart attack and has Jerry and Elaine rush him to the hospital. He later discovers that he was not having a heart attack, but his tonsils did grow back (yes, this is possible) and were inflamed. Kramer convinces him to go see his friend Tor Eckman, the holistic healer, instead of letting the hospital cut on him. He goes, only to have a severe reaction to the herbal tea that he was given and have to be rushed back to the hospital. On the way to the hospital in the ambulance, the driver and EMT get into a fight and then the driver, not paying attention, gets into a wreck. George ends up in a neck brace and still has to get his tonsils removed by the doctor.

Jerry tries the entire episode to figure out a line he had written down in the middle of the night for a new bit for his act. He finally, after asking many people to try to read it, realizes it was a line from a movie that said, "Like flaming globes of Zigmund." He's excited to figure it out, but then doesn't know why he wrote it down.

Intersting fact: Tor tells Jerry that he has too much dairy in his diet, but just a few episodes before Jerry states that he is lactose intolerant.

Intersting quote: "Routine surgery? My friend Bob Sacamano, he came in here for a hernia operation. Now he's sitting around in a chair going, [high pitched voice]"my name is Bob!"

Grade: A (Hilarious story line and great acting, especially by George)
