I have not been following this thread, but have to say that I followed my husband to the ER with what turned out to be an inflamed gall bladder. As they were going out the door with him on the stretcher, the EMTS indicated his heart was fine. Since many of his symptoms mimicked heart issues, I was relieved. Ultimately, he was put through "the system" and was operated on within 10 hours of arriving in the ER. It was not a critical situation. He's almost 80 and there were a few minor complications necessitating his admission for a couple of days, but altogether, we feel that the Drs and entire staff were extremely thorough and very attentive during his stay. Did I breathe down their necks? Of course, but this is an incredibly busy time of year, and everyone remained helpful and pleasant, despite my incessant questions.
