The Call to the Doctor and Denial

As I said in the last post, I had all the signs of a heart attack: ringing elbow, tightness of chest, shortness of breath. I called the family doctor and described what had happened and he told me in an amazed tone that it sounded like a heart attack to him. I should come in and see him the next day.

I slept alright that night and at 28 thought there was no way it could be a heart attack. The next morning I got up, felt fine, and despite my wife's misgivings I went to work rather than the to the doctor's office.

Little did I know I had dodged a big bullet and that it would catch up with me later.
