Part 2 - The Ambo

In the ambulance, Dave and Sean treated me like a cardio patient since I had abdominal pains moving up into my chest and neck region. From my perspective I really did not think that I was having a heart issue, but I left it to the boys to figure that out. I remember clearly what Dave told me about 3-5 times, "if we deal with what possibly may be the most serious, then everything else will fix itself."  If only he knew.  After attaching me to an EKG and taking my blood pressure I was given a chewable asprin, a nitrate and some morphine to chill me out. Once I was stable they took me to Epworth Richmond Hospital on my request. I really appreciate that Dave and Sean did a great job with me. This is only the second time I was in an ambulance (first was with my motorcycle accident) and I felt like they took really good care of me. At the time prior to their arrival, though, I was a bit pissed that it did take them so long to show up.  I guess I'm used to the CFD showing up within a couple of minutes.
