Chris, that was funny, but not funny at the time. Usually when someone comes in in a panic they will hook you up to a cardiac monitor and do cardiac enzymes to R/O a heart attack despite a person's age. He prejudged you not on your behavior as he is also not licensed to diagnose. Next time if this happens, tell them you are experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. Then you will get appropriate tx as CP puts you at the top of the list of ER emergencies. Fondly, Phillipa
