Barr explained: 'This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged.
'So now I'm so p*****. Because I'm like, I need a new doctor.'

Roseanne Barr got candid about worrying that she could die during a cosmetic procedure after a physician told her that her heart was 'damaged'
The 73-year-old comedian opened up about her health concerns on a recent episode of her Roseanne Barr Podcast (she is seen in a recent Instagram snap)
Barr continued: 'He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out. And I’m like, why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?
'I mean, it doesn't make any sense. I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home. What do they call that place? Hospice.'

'I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,' she tweeted. 'I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.'
