Looks like I'll be using independent labs to do some tests that my EP won't order March 20, 2018 03:18AM |

^^^^^^ You're right about the gate keeping. I can well understand how savvy people who want to burst through those gates and get those diagnostic tests to "rule out" (or confirm!) this or that, might comment on possible symptoms in order to get a full and more accurate work up, i.e. a twinge in the chest area, a slight neck ache, shortness of breath, etc.Quote
Your letter from the EP contains a taste of Kaisar's gate keeping "Without other symptoms of chest pain or tightness I would not recommend further heart investigations at this time". Translation? There will be no further tests. Of course this ignores that almost half the women that are having full on heart attacks have no chest pain at all.
