Take care Speedy, glad you are back home. The difference between being taken into the ER in an ambulance and entering the ER on your own is TIME. Ambulance, you go directly into ER, you will immediately receive medical attention. Walk in, assuming you complain of chest pain, they will take you right in, but you have to get to that ER first. As you said, you don't know if you would have been able to drive, get yourself out of the car, etc. Scary either way. Take care.
Calling 911, as I realized I was having a heart attack Having the 2 ambulance guys tell me, "Mr. Beck you are NOT having a heart attack." Getting to Emergency room, and being surrounded by professionals, who were also informing me, "Mr. Beck, you are NOT having a heart attack. Screaming at everybody, to take this phone number down and call my wife, please tell her I'm sorry and I love her, and have always loved her. Again people telling me, "Mr. Beck, you are not having a heart attack" Me again screaming, "CALL MY WIFE!!!!" Now giving in to the fact that I am going to die here, surrounded by professionals who are making a mistake. Then getting into a fetal position, turning ghost white, sweating like you wouldn't believe, and finally having a doctor say to me, "Mr. Beck, you are indeed having a heart attack!!!!!" Me replying, "Oh really, you don't say?!?!?!" Now watching all those folks who originally thought I was full of it, now spring into action. Feeling the pressure of stents being put into me, as I soon realized you are AWAKE for this little fun procedure.
And I remember EVERYTHING up until that point. Because thats when it got real interesting.
whoa. glad you're ok enough to post about it on here.

I LOVE doctors (for the most part, aside from plastic surgeons) but last time I went to the ER, I KNEW I was about ready to pass out and they kept asking questions they already knew the answers to (from my history)….actually, it wasn’t really doctors asking the questions; more like admittance people….anyway, I told them “you’re gonna be talking to an unconscious person real soon.” sure enough, I went into several seizures…next thing I remember was some angel asking if I’d like a little morphine.
yes, please!
get well, speedy. we and the supply chain need you!

Wow. Speedy I am so happy you are alive and handled things the right way. I had a little scare myself a few months back where I thought I was having one but actually wasn't. So you're story freaks me out but I'm really glad you are feeling better now. Rest up!
Good God man I am so happy that you are okay. Crazy indeed!!! And right around Christmas of all times!!! I am sure Kathy is taking excellent care of you, but if there's anything I can do to help do not hesitate to ask. Did the Vedder ticket prices have anything to do with this?

Hey old buddy, old pal. Glad you made it through and listened to your body! Hope you have a happy season this Christmas!
Hey there! Thanks for the well wishes.
So what was the deal? Did you have 100% blockage in only one artery or were there more? Did you end up with a stent or angio? Do you bypass surgery coming?
Also, did you get the cardiac cath while you were awake or an actual stent?
Glad you’re feeling better. I’ll share my story as well, not as a topper but more about how important family history is in this equation.
