Did they check you blood levels? Troponin? EKG is not always reliable but an elevated troponin is a dead give away no pun intended. Your cardiologists should figure that out in a timely manner but at least you got a clean bill of health, that had to be satisfying. One positive about Minnesota, the health care here is said to be impeccable

When my dad died of a heart attack 4 years ago at 66, we realized he had probably had one a week or two earlier. I was shocked that his cardiologist didn't even test his troponin the first time. Simple, non-invasive and extremely diagnostic.

Sorry to hear that, I would be pist to find out that info. When I worked ICU, it was just customary to get the cardiac blood work going for those with angina/chest pain.

After working in the Cath lab, trop levels aren't 100% tell's either. Ekg's can be off if the probes are placed incorrectly. Just sayinq:0008

Oh and I got "forced" also. This year they went back to the mask option but last year it was shot or your job. If I didn't have my daughter then I wouldn't have gotten it, but now I'll probably get it every year. I gave into the man telling me what to do :facepalm:

Stop whining and take your medicine. Maybe ask for a lollipop. And give me a break with the Guillain-Barre crap. You are at bigger risk for that if you don't get the vaccination.

1 in a million shot for Guillain-Barre with the flu shot.

17 in a million if you have the flu.


I'm starting to understand why you think it's no problem to spread the myth that antibiotics cure the flu.

I have refrained from responding to this until now. You don't know wtf you are talking about in this entire post. That's about as nice as I can be. :0008

Just some more poison that doesn't really help. Surprised no feedback from happy hippo or agent here. This is actually one topic I agree with them.

I still don't like the idea of anybody telling me I have to get something injected into my body. When they come around with the human bar codes/implants, I'll go down with more of a fight. :0corn

Please tell me how I am wrong. I'll be happy to show you the study published in the Lancet where I drew those numbers from. No excuse not to get a flu shot if you work in health care, or if you work with children or the elderly.
