Question:
Surgery Rescheduled Due to Abnormal EKG, can anyone relate?

Now they want to do a nuclear stress test before they do surgery for cardiac clearence .. they couldn't schedule the test until the day of my surgery and it was at 7 in the morning ..so they had to postpone until the test comes back . They say if test is ok ..they will work me back into the surgery schedule :( no telling how long that will take .. I have been approved for 3 months already and have been on a waiting list .... I am just sick about it . Has anyone else had to have this test prior to surgery ..and was it ok ? I think they are freakin out cecause my sister died at 34 with a heart attack ... thanks in advance for any words of wisdom :) love Ruthie    — ruthie (posted on March 18, 2003)
