Glad you sidestepped the bypass and stents Ray, you've had enuff fun for while !!!!
I agree, hearing your specialist say "Whoa" is like hearing your surgeon say "ooops !"
However I did once hear my surgeon say "Whoa ... did I ever get low on this ..." when doing a rectal exam checking my low rectal anastamosis
aside : a lot of docs now are putting the brakes on doing so many cardio stress tests .... folks can have really severe problems being pushed so hard. My father who'd had a quad bypass refused to do any more. When I had my first one, when I 'd finished I asked the Cardio how many more VPCs he was going to let me throw before he shut it down ? His shocked reply " OH you saw those ? "
I said "Yeah, I am a vet and run EKGs on a regular basis."
"Oh ...... well you did very well here."
"Thanks doc, glad I could amuse you with my exercise induced arrhythmias."
He is actually head of Medicine at the hosp now and still my Cardio ...... just mentioning his name gets you in to anything immediately, so I use him for my "cancer card" backup when I run into a bitchy booking nurse .... just don't do a lot of cardio stuff with him.
Stay ahead of the game Ray
Cheers
