In reply to the discussion: My christmas gift this year [View all]appal_jack
(3,813 posts)11. Glad you pulled-through, Diclotican.
Scares with the heart are particularly attention-grabbing, yes?
I am just a few years older than you, and had a similar scare a couple of years ago. The differences were that my feelings of extreme discomfort arose from stress and blood pressure issues (since largely addressed and mitigated), and my heart was OK and unblocked, thankfully. The other big difference was that even though I had 'insurance' and did not require surgery, an ER visit followed by an overnight stay in the hospital for monitoring here in the US cost me more than $3000.
So yes, like you, I am a supporter of universal health care.
I am very glad that you are still with us. Your posts are always thoughtful and interesting. Merry Christmas to you & yours,
