Re: chest pain replies

Just thought I'd pop in and let you know that the information you

are stating isn't really how it is in all states.. I live in the

philly area of Pa, and the *emergency room* help is fantastic.. It's

not just to get on your feet and get you out. I work in the ER in

two different hospitals as a Medical Assistant, and I know the

doctors/nurses/all other staff are very helpful and will do whatever

it is to make you (as a patient) better.
