Another Heart Attack at the Heart Attack Grill

Story first appeared in CBS News.

Another patron of the Heart Attack Grill has reportedly fallen ill during a meal at the hospital-themed Las Vegas restaurant.

CBS affiliate KLAS-TV Las Vegas reports that a woman is recovering after collapsing unconscious and suffering a possible heart attack at the restaurant that serves up fatty fare.

Restaurant owner told KLAS-TV the woman was doing everything society tells you not to do Saturday night at the restaurant, including eating high-calorie foods, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.  Her current condition or cause of the medical episode was not immediately known but the woman is expected to recover, according to Ecorse Cardiologists.

If the incident sounds familiar, in February a man suffered a heart attack and had to be taken out in a stretcher while eating the restaurant's 6000-calorie "Triple Bypass Burger."

At the time, the restaurant offered free eating to people who weigh more than 350 pounds and justified that with a tongue-in-cheek mission statement: "Doctors agree that continually cycling body weight up and down is one of the very worst things a person can do to themselves. That's why our program is focused upon keeping your weight in an extremely stable, gradual, and constant upward slope."

Other fatty foods served up by the restaurant include "flatliner fries" or a four-patty quadruple "bypass burger" you can add 20 strips of bacon to for a small fee.

Following the February heart attack - which some restaurant patrons thought was an act, snapping pictures with their cell phones - the restaurant owner told CBS This Morning he's just honest about serving unhealthy food. Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers state that the business cannot be held liable for a patron's unhealthy habits prior to and after dining at the establishment. A Flat Rock Cardiologist said that he doesn't think a hamburger bite or eating a whole hamburger can give you a heart attack.  Ongoing unhealthy habits and heredity contribute to heart attacks, rather than a single instance of unhealthy eating.
