"I leaned down to pick up a toddler we were babysitting, and pulled a rib out of place."

A similar thing happened to me just playing basketball a couple years ago (in my 50s) - it scared the crap out of me. I couldn't breath and it was excruciating pain. But, it was just torn cartilage and a misplaced rib. It really hurt. Chest pains could be a LOT of things unrelated to the heart.

A similar thing happened to me<<<

Same here. I picked up a trunk and dislocated two ribs but being a dedicated nurse, got myself to work the next morning, pretty darn sure it wasn’t an MI since I lived through the night, but still you worry.

One of the Doc’s I worked with was a D.O. Anesthesiologist who did some manipulation thing on me, for which I am eternally grateful. I was never much for chiropractic stuff before that but I wouldn’t shun it now.

Hope that Rush is okay and nothing more than a minor problem occured.

I do wonder why BO, Pelosi and Rush are all in the same area. I wouldn’t want to spoil my vacation with anything that reminded me of work.
