good story.....been there { I was an EMT for 16 years}. Saw many people who denied having the big one, right up to the time I was kneeling besides them doing compressions.
Doctors save lives....Nurses Save Doctors....

I married one of these gals, met her in the ER working triage at Parkland.

Checked your page. I'll keep mine. LOL.

Put me on your ping list.

Thank you SO much for another great story and for the ping! I'll say it again, you have a very readable style - entertaining and informative.

And thanks for the job you do saving folks, sometimes in spite of themselves.

Question for when you have the time: What's your experience in the differences, if any, between MI symptoms manifested in women vs. men? I've heard women's symptoms can be more subtle. As a female whose paternal bloodline tends to heart disease, I have more than passing interest in the subject.

Please add me to your ping list.

Funny how your last story (at least the last one that I saw) was about a patient who was obviously quite dead, but whose heart insisted on continuing to beat anyway.

So.....What happened to the guy!?!!?!?!

My mom has severe hypothyroidism that is only now being treated. Her BP is in the red zone and, for the last few weeks, she's been having horrible pain in her chest that radiates up her throat. She gets sweaty and faint, then it passes.

She saw her doctor last week and spent half an hour telling him that she's having terrible *anxiety* issues!!!

I swear, I'm ready to duct-tape her and roll her into the ER myself.
