ADENOSINE and DOBUTAMINE. i don't remember which one they used on

Thanks, -- I am sure I will be in the hands of competent professionals-- I will tell them the whole truth and make sure they hear it. Then I will be in their hands and the hands of the Deity. I will be just fine, I am sure.

and Nan,

Sorry I got the name wrong; it was the Dobutamine that is used for

asthmatics and people with breathing problems. If you have no such problems,

they probably would use Persantine. I don't know anything about Adenosine.
