((Gma)) I am SO very sorry for the loss of your friend. I don't want to imagine life without my best friends.

ER doctors and heart attack symptoms in 2009...no I'm not surprised, and most especially wouldn't be surprised if you had said it happened up here at our hospital.

GRRRR. It wasn't that long ago my godmother called 1st nurse in the middle of the night with discomfort in her chest, upset stomach, and she was scared. The first nurse told her to chew some Tums and try to relax and go to sleep. Next morning she went to her gp and he blew a fuse! She was in the cardiac care unit immediately.

Women and heart attacks - getting very prevalent - and women often present with such different symptoms then men.

Shame on that emergency room. Now I'm wondering which hospital it was.

I'm so sorry.
