Heart-To-Heart #2: I am still here…

This week for Heart-to-Heart, I found the story of Deb who writes I am still here…. She shared her experience in the emergency room after waking up with chest pains. She did not have a good experience to say the least.
Finally a cardiologist walks in. He talks very loud, and asks me questions, but interrupts me before I can answer. He looks at my EKG readout and says, Anyone looking at this would think you had a heart attack, but I think its just the way your heart sets in your chest. I am not lying. This is what the doctor said.
Deb was eventually released from the hospital but felt “abused, used, and very confused.” I’m sure she’s not alone in feeling this way after a visit to the emergency room. May she not have to make a trip there again anytime soon.
