and you do not want to get me started.
I received an e-mail from a female doctor friend telling me about a woman going to the ER room in Illinois with chest pains and SOB and nausea. Classic symptoms for women and Heart Disease. They brushed her aside and told her to wait her turn. YOU NEVER TELL A PATIENT THIS with CHEST PAINS!!! When they went to get her after 2 hours, she was dead, sitting in a chair, in the ER waiting room. Autopsy indicated a massive heart attack.
I thanked the Coroner for his decision, in court, charging the hospital with negligent Homicide. I praised his decision. I hope every ER room in the country heard about this. Women are the ones that are least taken serious. If this should happen to you, don't sit there and wait your turn, get the head nurse ASAP and demand a Cardiac work up or find the ER doctor and get help.
Ok....unpluging my loud speaker for now.
