I can appreciate your comments. 20 plus years as a cardiovascular physiologist. It was September 16, 2003 I experienced those symptoms...first there was there denial. I know for a fact that if a cold Dr. Pepper doesn't relieve the symptoms get your butt to the ER. Within 2 minutes upon my arrival to the ER I had IV's going, ECG done, nitro onboard, 30mg morphine administered, first dose of the clot buster administered and a cardiologist at my bedside. Within 50 minutes I was at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas in the cath lab. 5 hours later I was the proud owner of 67mm of stents (97% occulsion of the RCA) and a new outlook on life. This coming Friday I'm scheduled for another PTCA and additional stents. I experienced chest pains recently and decided not to screw around this time.
Hopefully one person will read this and say screw it Im calling it in. People should not die because of poor self inflicted decision.
YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS POLITICALWIT.
