They didn't even check your BP the first 2 visits? That's hard to believe. That is usually the first thing done, even for a routine check-up. They would have realized the high pulse rate if they did. You don't need a heart monitor to figure that out.
I make good money doing a job I like, and in a high acuity area. You, quite literally, have no idea what you’re talking about. EM is a high burn out specialty because people with attitudes like you are the problem. I don’t let non sick people get under my skin, don’t give out the drugs addicts wants, and when sick people do come in (which multiple do daily) it makes it beyond worth it.
That must have been the worlds shittiest ED.
I didn't mean the words in all caps, just the random capitalized words throughout.
Very conscious...It was picked up my holter monitor. I had readings of 289, 278, 302 and 304. None lasting longer than 5-6 seconds. I was at work when these occurred. Doctor called my wife the following day, and I was immediately admitted. I was diagnosed with PSVT's. And EP study was done, but nothing was found. I am currently on medication. Recently had an echo that came back fine. SOme arotic regurgitation...Nothing major. Said my heart function was fine. Strong. And within normal function.
(1) it couldn’t have been longer than a few seconds because that’s not sustainable at all
1. Longest episode was 5 seconds. It felt as if my chest was being squeezed shut. I told the cardiologist I felt my heart stop. He said, "No, you didn't. It was just beating so fast, you couldn't feel it". Eeek.
Look....I had to quit drinking.....SMoking.....I mean, If i gave up caffeine, all together, as well? Fvck broesph---I 'd kill everyone in the house.Come on Borden.

Yikes!!! Obsessed little fella, is it because your football team resembled Purdue today?“Louisville is easily a top 20 team”
Just saw this. No, they did not. Did nadda really. Basically came to the conclusion of anxiety....w/o any type of testing. Solid.
Wow, that is bad. Like big time lawsuit bad if something serious would've happened to you. Usually you get at least a BP check just walking in the door!
Most hospitals triage you first; BP, Temp, weight, etc, etc...Ask you why you are there. Not this night. They were ultra busy. When I complained of a fast HB, they took me straight back. But no room. I was in the hallway. Doctor came by, asked was was wrong---I told her. Now, she did take my pulse...And confirmed it was fast. Gave me a dose of advan(sp?). Nurse came by, ask how that was working. I was like---great. Took my pulse. it had slowed considerably. Doc came back by, asked some questions. Was there any unusual stress, etc, etc..I was like, meh---not really.
