20 years ago Back in the day; The standard of care was as follows: You have chest pain, you don't die.
You go to E.R., you don't die in 2 hours You are transferred to ICU, learned men come in and consult. Bitchy nurses make you use a bed pan. You don't die 3 days later they perform an angioplasty, you don't die. Today, if you have sudden onset of angina, plan on have a cardiac procedure THAT DAY. Why? They don't want you to die. -- Peter Arnold Windsor, CT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curt Raymond" <curtlud...@yahoo.com> To: "Diesel List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 8:37:53 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [MBZ] worst of its over Tell you what, I'm glad for the CT, without it I never would have gotten the cath and without either of them we'd have never known about the blockage until I had a heart attack... -Curt Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:51:36 -0600 From: Peter Hertzing <phertz...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] worst of its over Message-ID: <3a3393481001281451y5a3b8f0au3c94a18d10f73...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'll provide some incite. I am a hospital administrator. I work on the physician practice side. In our Emergency room 65% of ER visitors have a Cat Scan. Is it necessary - really no. It is medicine dictated by Lawyers. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
