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.
