heart attacks

There was an interesting article in the front page of the USA Today dated 10 25 and the fact that 25000 or more die every year after going to the Emergency room the next day or two after leaving the hospital. I thought that it was interesting since somebody in the family had went to the hospital. They put through tests after and did not find that she had a heart attack. They finally put system using dye and found her arteries were full of Cholestrial and the Doctor thought that a piece had maybe fell off and gave her the system of a heart attack. It seems like the Doctors do not have an instinct after takin g tests what is wrong. If the tests do not show what is going on -they are in trouble. A friend was told that she did not have an attack and she insisted that she did as she had much experience in dealing with people and it turned out she did. The question is are Doctors trained wrong? The body is full of feedback and in so many cases hides the problem until it is too late. It is amazing how something would happen and in the next day somebody writes an article explaining what is going on. according to the newspaper there are new things that Doctors can do to find the answers with out waiting too late to learn the answers. It seems like in Airplane crashes there has to be blood before things will change. It does pay to read something besides the hometown rag or watch the local tv or listen to radio. It must also be remembered that the media is controlled by big corp. and in a sense they controll the news. It reminds me of the Dixie Chicks.
