Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 OMGosh Hugs. I can't believe they treated you that way with a heart related problem. I'd want to sue the crap out of them and I'm not one to sue. I'd sure be talking to the CEO of that hospital. That was so uncalled for. In the future, when making an appt with that doc, I'd sure request to see HIM and not his PA's. Sometimes, they can be just as good as a doc, but with something like this? I'd feel better seeing the doc. You have that right as you are paying to see him not his PA's. Just my humble opinion. I'm sorry you are having to go through all of this. I can't believe they are putting off the tests till July 7th either. That's 3 wks off. Keep us posted on what's going on and if you pass out again, please go right to the ER, call an ambulance. You need immediate medical attention since you do have blockage. The longer you go without treatment with one of those episodes, the more damage that is done to the heart. Hugs and prayers, Tommie update i went to the cardiologist yesterday,the drs. werent there,just two nurse practitioners which worried me some.I have two test at little rock hospital on july seventh.Im worried cause im allergic to the dye they want to put into my heart through my grion area.they test they did in the hospital shows i have artery blockage so on the 7th these test will show how many arteries are blocked.the first nurse pract. ask me was i faking the passing out spells,i was so sick and weak that day i got upset and almost fainted again the other nurse came in and ordered her to leave the room b-cause she over heard what was said to me and on top of that the air conditioner was broke and it was 98 degrees out side,it was so hot in that office my hair was wet with sweat.I told the first nurse that she had all my test results in her hand and i ask her why would so many drs sent me to a heart dr. for no reson.i hope you all have had a good day.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I don't think I would want to wait until July 7th to have the tests done. Could you call the doctor on Monday to see if you could get it bumped up? And if you are allergic to the dye, then I would certainly discuss that with someone before having this test done. Is it possible the nurse practioner missed that? And as far as the treatment you received when you are there. That is totally unacceptable! I would definatley call and talk to someone about that at the hospital! To ask if you were faking it? C'mon! You aren't a child. And if the air was broke and it was so hot, you are in a cardiologist office, they should have had fans or something for the patients to be a little more comfortable. Talk about a dangerous situation.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks . I will ask about the vicodin or the tylenol 3, although they probably won't give me tylenol 3 with the ultracet, since I am already taking ultracet that has acetomenophen in it. On another note, do you want to put in a chapter for the book? If so, please email me. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi I'm the same way. If I stand and/or walk for more than 5 minutes my feet begin to throbb more than normal. As for numbeness in the feet, I haven't felt my feet in over 3 years. Their numbe all the time because of the neuropathy. Hugs Diane-Minnesota > > Hi Chelle, > > I was on darvosat for awhile too.
