Yes sir for the most part. The stress test was abnormal but the cath showed no blockages. I had been on Vioxx for some time so my MD was concerend about my frequent chain pain episodes. I got a pretty stern lecture about my sky high cholesterol and high stress lifestyle. Working EMS had led to me eating fast food on the go 3 times a day and working 2 jobs plus trying to go to school. Looking back I think it really is true that medical personel tend to take care of everyone else yet neglect their own health. My cholesterol still isnt great but its down to a manageable level and I have shed a few pounds staying out of the drive thru windows.
By the way I am in my psych rotation of RN school right now at a state hospital. Hats off to Nancy for all her hard work. I dont think I could face a place like that on a daily basis give me my ICU anyday!
