@ruth36 The angioplasty I had was a very positive experience. Everyone from the receptionist to the surgeon and nurses were so kind and helpful. After being discharged and dealing with the cardiology department in the clinic, it has been a very negative experience. I call with questions and they don’t get back to me for two to three days. When they do they are highly skeptical of your claims. I called about the clopidogrel today and the doctor wanted me to go to the emergency room right away and get checked for internal bleeding or sepsis. I have an appt tomorrow morning with my primary and I will wait for that rather than spend all that money and time in the ER for two conditions I highly doubt I’m suffering from.
I’m sorry for your condition and experience with the medical field. I wish you improved health and happiness. It’s very difficult staying positive in circumstances such as yours.

I’m glad the angioplasty went well, along with the consideration and friendliness from the surgeon and nurses…. sorry for the frustration you received after you were discharged at the clinic. I think a lot of times regardless of what their titles are doctors or nurses or Receptionist, they need to be trained on to be a little more passionate, especially With older people. I think a little compassion shown helps ease the worries and stress the older people have with their health.
I don’t blame you for not wanting to go to the ER. I don’t even know why they call it the “emergency room” because you could sit there for hours and hours.
I hope your appointment with the primary goes well and you get some answers. I guess we both have to take it day by day and hopefully there’ll be a solution and things will get better for both of us.
