Back to finish up my answer to <font color="0000ff">polarisrider1</font>'s earlier question:
<font color="0000ff">
"How's the ticker?"</font>
I just had a follow up appointment with my cardiologist yesterday.
The EKG exam showed …
Normal EKG!
The doctor said: "From that,
you'd never know you had a heart attack, never mind a cardiac arrest!"<hr width=75% size=2>It certainly was interesting reading the various doctors' reports of the herculean efforts in the ER (On August 5th) from the resuscitation through the catheterization, thrombectomy, atherectomy, balloon angioplasty and stent emplacement, including the
chemically induced coma (using the same drug
Propofol that killed Michael Jackson!) and
hypothermia protocol (lowering body temperature to just above 33°F both of which were to prevent or minimize any brain damage due to decreased oxygenation.) So I wouldn't lose my built-in automatic spell check ability, eh?
What a ride! Although since I was unconscious for that procedure, I wish I had the videotape/DVD, that would be better than the current crop of medical shows on TV!
Now back to the hospital next week for another heart catheterization, and one or two more stents, this time in the the left circumflex artery and obtuse marginal branch. It should be a fairly trivial exercise this time, just a bit more difficult navigating through the various arterial branches to this target site. Probably two days in the hospital at most.
