      Re Topic: The beginning the living with Angina I should also mention to you that I was seeing a doctor alot for 3.5 months and getting all kinds of tests done the result was she missed the absolute obvious and it was completely preventable but 3.5 months of testing ended in a heart attack . Doctors are not Gods but some can tell the difference between health and heart disease just by looking you at you while others could not tell you are 20 weeks preg. the fact is this same doctor couldn't tell my 130 lb 5'4ft wife was 20 weeks . Her exact words were " Sorry I hear nothing it could be menopause I am a scientist and there is no baby in there " How could I expect her to find my blood clots in my heart well she proved my doubts all along . She fails miserably in both life and death always be careful with doctors they are not always any good .
