Heart attack...

Myocardial Infarction[MI] or in plain english heart attack kills people....in just a 6 hours shift yesterday i came across 4 such situations..all of them referred from private physicians...unfortunately these poor people keep roaming from one practitioner to another with no treatment and finally end up here losing that precious 3 hour window period where any medical intervention perhaps will save his life.....

p.s-

am more worried about these atypical presentations[unusual symptoms] of MI...like this one guy yesterday who came with an upper abdominal pain and when i did a fresh Ecg[high suspicion coz of age and associated diabetes] turned out to be angina.....this patient could have been easily neglected as a case of gastritis and put on wrong drugs...
