I went for the block two weeks ago and blood pressure bottomed out before I got on the table. Took an hour to come back up. Then I went to the cardiologist last week...who yelled at me for waiting 4 years since my last cath and not taking cholesterol meds I was NEVER told I had to take. Then he informed me that I was lucky to be seeing him at all since he wouldn't waste his time doing these kinds of tests on someone MY age. That was right before he asked why he should bother at all since I have obviously decided to smoke myself into an early grave. 'House' has better bedside manners. He sent me home with a heart monitor. Stress test Tuesday. Follow up on the 13th. Did I mention that all of this is starting to get to me. Just a bit. A little bit. Just a wee nudge of a bit.

Well, I usually don't recommend smoking...but Sam and Skinhit told me they OK'd it for you. Tied into the money Sam owes you, maybe?
Another friend got royally screwed by his MD...been suffering ... really suffering for a couple of years and was never told he has herniated disks....I dunno...the system is shot to sh!t from every angle.
What Ken said is true...but, Ken most folks don't appreciate being related to as objects, nor being abused. Skinhit OK'd that for Po' also, as did Sam.
Kidding aside...the BP thing is interesting...and should be looked into.
STOP SMOKING, SMEDLEY! Enough is enough.
