| After
his run, George's problem begins when he has chest pains while
making love to his wife. |
|
His doctor finds nothing wrong except
slightly elevated blood pressure . . .
|
|
but the symptoms could indicate a serious problem,
so he sends George to a cardiologist. |
|
|
|
|
One of the tests involves
the injection of a radio isotope.
George waits while it circulates through his system.
|
|
|
|
|
| A
radioactive injection . . .is this really such a good
idea? |
|
|
|
|
| Then
there's the stress test. It starts out ok, but near the
end, the pain is back.
|
The pain eases once George is off the treadmill, but there's
no question that something is wrong.
|
|
George is shown his test results and told that he
probably has a blockage of his main coronary artery.
|
|
He is told to "get a good night's rest"
and come back in the morning for an
angiogram and probable angioplasty.
|
|
|
|
|
| He
signs the consent forms and waits to be taken to the operating
room. |
|
|
|
|
But
to George, it feels like he's waiting for something far different. |
But the procedure is a success, and
George can resume all of his normal activities.
|
|
When his wife finds out, she does what
any reasonable woman would!
