AP: "Hunter Shot by Cheney Has Heart Attack"--Or Not

Compare the headline to this:
David Blanchard, chief of emergency care, called it "a silent heart attack, an asymptomatic heart attack. He's not had a heart attack in the traditional sense."

The doctors said Whittington did not experience symptoms of a heart attack or any other problems. They left the birdshot in place and said he could live a healthy life with it there.
Birdshot in the heart still sounds serious, to say the least, but this is an interesting moment in journalism.
