Taking fish oil as a supplement may be in vogue now but it is nothing new.

When I was a kid I always made myself scarce when ever I saw my mother get the bottle of cod liver oil out of the kitchen cupboard, but she was patient and persistent and eventually would corner me and force me into swallowing a spoon full of that foul tasting stuff, for no specific reason other than it was "good for me" I don't think cholesterol had even been invented back then.

RPM, look after yourself, knocking a 35+ year habbit on the head aint going to make it easy but kick back and take it easy if you can.

Glad to hear you are ok rpm, and you were lucky you had an apointment that day!

Ive taken fishoil since i was a kid. Comes in a liquid form that some detest, or capsules. I eat fish 3-4 times a week too (not in pill or capsule form

) and I recomend that those of you who are meat fanatics try to get in atleast one fish meal a week.

JB88, I am 44.

Slash, yep the new hospital is in Decatur. Incidently, the powers that be in Decatur are fighting tooth and nail to prevent a new hospital from being built in Bridgeport. They want to funnel 100% of the county's healthcare dollars into Decatur.

The Decatur "news"paper is running stories weekly trying to create some type of scandal about the proposed Bridgeport hospital. So far nothing has stuck and it's starting to look pretty lame. But, that's typical of our county's leading birdcage lining. They ran a series of front page articles on one of their reporters getting lap-band surgery at the shiny new hospital (and why you should too!). That's news? This is also the same paper that covered up a $20,000 payoff the Sheriff's Office made to an out of town man that took a beating from our sheriff while he was off duty. Luckily, the Bridgeport paper investigated the story.

Nils, thanks bro.

Well, to be honest I'm sure there was some residue from several thousand gallons of Blue Bell, too.

You sound like the typical patient from hell. Come in to hospital and you allready know what's wrong with you. Try to leave AMA because Doc disgrees and thinks there's a chance that you could be in mortal danger. Of course you know they're just trying to fleece you. Then after they finally get tired of fighting you and let you leave you blame them for not keeping you. Even though they did recommend that you follow up with a cardiologist.

rpm, I have had 2 of the 'big ones'.

Had to put the paddles to me. Just like going to sleep > no out of body experience or any Perley Gate images or angels holding my hand. The worst part of the whole deal was sandbag and not being able to move after the operation.

The big mistake people think is that there is always chest pain (that is only in the movies). Not all the time, for with each of mine there was none at all. Only thing that saved me for the 2cd one, 3 years later, was I knew what other symptoms to look for.

The doc was quite surprised when I gave him a running commentary on where the end of the stent probe was as it went through the body.

Quiting smoking was no big deal as the hospital stay was 10 days. Several days in ICU and then a wait for a transfer to the Heart Institute across town. After getting out, the smell of cigarette smoke made me want to puke.

I would be in the poor house if it was not for Medicare.

I freely admit I'm THE patient from hell. But, I followed all the reccomendations of the ER doctor and then some. The ER doc didn't think I was having a coronary and even said so. I was kept overnight for observation. He never called a cardiologist for a consult. In fact, he turned me over to a P.A. after I was admitted.

I saw this cardiologist after seeing my family doc. BTW, I did have bronchitis as I originally suspected. My cardiologist said the ER missed the call. He said any competent physician should have seen what was going on after watching my EKG. This didn't happen overnight. I'm not planning on suing anyone, I'm not blaming anyone but myself for my condition. I am saying the Decatur hospital has a lousy staff and overbills.

Speaking of bills, I have yet to see the damage of this rodeo. At least with this type of procedure the stay was just 24 hours.
