Re: Signs .. of heart attack in women((all women read this)))

[Guest guest]

Thanks for bringing up the subject. However, I will suggest to all women

and all men who care about them, that anytime you even suspect anything wrong

with your heart, tell the ER people you know you are having a heart attack and

make sure they put the heart monitor on you. If you don't you don't lose

anything, if you do, you have everything to gain.

My experience:

I went to the ER early AM because I was having excruciating chest pains. The

ER personnel decided that I was not an emergency case, stuffed me with narcotics

and let me sit there for hours. In the end, some idiot decided the I was having

kidney stones and that I needed surgery asap. That is when they finally put the

heart monitor on me and realize I was having a massive heart attack and it was

not until 9 PM that something was done about it.

No that did not happen in a small rural 2-bit hospital, it was at Northwestern

U. in Chicago, as they like to claim, one of the best hospital in the country.

The best thing about that hospital is their PR. I am still outraged.

Us women have to be more aggressive and our health problems. Don't let

something like this happen to you.

You are not alone in this one. three years ago my SIL died after

having many small attacks..She finally had one massive one that

killed her and her mother found her dead on sofa one morning. The

really sad thing is that her docs kept saying she was faking and that

there was nothing wrong with her. Yes, there is a major mal-practice

suite in the workings.

I would also remind everyone too...that many times black women get

ignored even more so than caucasian women and if you are obese that

is another thing added into the mix.

It is very sad. My SIL was 38 yo when she died!
