Letter to the Editor
On the third of August
last year, I woke up with
a serious heart attack in
progress. 911 was called and
since the Medevac Helo was
broke down I was transported
to Medford Heart people by
ambulance. I came home from
there with Congestive Heart
Failure and my new life began.
This problem is a balancing
act between how much fluid
you ingest and how much your
body dispels, too much in and
you end up in the E.R., too
much out and you end up in the
E.R. This is controlled by pills
that must be taken daily and is a
life threatening problem. Since
August last year I have been to
the E.R. a number of times by
ambulance because my wife
cannot drive at night and that
is where I ran into “Doctor
No” three or four times (name
changed to protect the guilty.)
This Medic seems to believe
that his job is something other
than transporting those who
need medical help. For heart
patients, one of the more
prevalent signs of trouble
is a shortness of breath. On
Thursday morning February
21st at 5 a.m., after fighting a
serious breath problem that
kept me up all night, I called
for an ambulance and Doctor
No showed up. After taking
my vital signs he decided my
problem was nothing more
than an anxiety attack and
things went downhill from
there. He also asked me what
medications I was taking and I
told him, but after I was safely
tucked away in the gurney he
went back in the house and
got into the actual bottles and
discovered that there were pills
there I didn’t mention. During
the ride into town he decided
I needed an IV in my arm and
when he couldn’t manage that
in the moving ambulance it
turned out that I had “flexed”
my muscle in that arm and I
ended up with a 3 X 4 bruise.
Upon arriving at the E.R.,
I am listening to him relate
what medications I am taking
to the nurse, something that I
had to correct after Doctor No
left. You might like to know
that the real Dr. at the E.R.
didn’t believe I was having
an anxiety attack and gave
me medications that dispelled
about a quart of fluid from
around my heart and lungs in
the next hour or so that solved
the problem. If you run into
Doctor No give him by best
regards and tell him that the
next time I will take the bus or
ride my bicycle.
