She was very hard to talk to and told me I might have had a heart attack (on the basis of an EKG, without asking me about symptoms or anything.) Fortunately, she was wrong, but I went thru incredible stress for about six weeks until I managed to get a second opinion, and later a stress/echo and echo. I am thinking I will drive up to Boston at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
