Well that was a waste of time
I had a half day at work today because I went to the cardiologist after getting a referral from the Doctor (not the timelord) last week. Went there did their little cardio stress (generous) test doctor looked at the results and said “these results look good I don’t think it’s your heart I think it’s muscular, its good that at 28 you can make it the full 12 mins” (or something like that) I said “I was 99.9% sure it wasn’t my heart when this all started” and he said “well I can’t say i’m 100% certain but probably 99.95% sure”
For those that haven’t done one (I hadn’t) A cardio stress test consists of going into a room with a treadmill and a tech (who is probably a nurse) take off your shirt and have an ECG (electrody goodness) hooked up to you to get a base reading, they also take your blood pressure. After the tech asks questions to establish history, then the doctor comes in and asks the same questions. Then they put you on the tread mill and start at 2km/h (SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW) and every 3mins they increment the speed and incline and stop at 12mins.
Fun times. I love spending 170 to be told its not my heart which I knew before I went to the doctor the first time!
In other news… stuff happens.
