There I was, in the ambulance on my way to the hospital which was almost literally around the corner of where I stood, but I wasn’t allowed to walk there on my own for obvious reasons. In the ambulance I got hooked up to the heart monitor, an infusion was applied through which I had some water and blood thinner. Around this time my heart rate was already down to 90 and still dropping to normal levels, but I started to get some stabbing pain above my breast.
In the hospital I was taken the heart and lung ER where I was questioned about familiar heart problems, blood was tapped (7 tubes 😲) and even more questions. It took an hour before I could call my wife and tell her not to worry but that I was at the ER (and of course she was worried and hurried to get to me).
…and now the waiting started… The blood taken was to make sure I didn’t have an infarct and this would take about 2 hours. In the mean time more questions were asked by an other doctor (apparently there was a work shift).
