-Is this “cath lab” available 24 hours, seven days a week?
-Is there a coronary bypass surgery program?
-Once a woman arrives in the emergency room with a heart attack, how quickly is she sent to the cath lab?
-Can doctors open a blocked blood vessel within the acceptable range of 90 minutes?
Be bold to tell the Dr. that they'd not ignore of heart attack possibility, be persistent, if doctors ignore your requests, ask for tests, ECG, aspirin, oxygen etc, as once heart muscles are damaged, then it can't be reversed.
