Zanna ~ went to er last night

[Guest guest]

Hi Zanna

I'm so sorry about your night at the ER. What hospital do you go to

out there?

When you call the hospital ask them if you can pick up your x-ray so you

can take it with you to your doctors appt. They might not give it to

you but it's worth a try. Some places will and some won't.

If they recommended a pulmonary doctor you can bet they also saw

something on the film that should be seen by a pulmonary doctor... oh

course, you already knew what they would find on the film and maybe

they didn't know that you knew...

Your EKG results should be sent to your cardiologist. You can call his

office and have him tell you the results. I would get him to clarify

the hospitals term " slight abnormalities " .... this might not mean

anything to them on a normal person with a cold perhaps, but it might

mean more on a person with our disease. Again, you're dealing with

hospital personnel that have probably never seen this disease nor know

anything about it so they place you with all the rest of the people they

examine.

It's still good you went in.... I hope you can get some rest today.

TAke care,

Vicki
