I have had coronary heart disease for many years with my heart doctors being at Reading Hospital Tower health. This weekend I had 2 heart attacks and was rushed to Tower Health ER. They admitted me of course. My bloodwork showed my Troponins were thru the roof reaching 1700+ at one point. Then 2 days later they decide to do a catherization, which I was told there were my old blockages of 60, 50, and 40% were nothing Is done unless 70% or higher. That night they discharged me telling me no other blockages were found even tho my Troponins were thru the roof meaning I had heart damage but still Dr. Hope discharged me. Not less than 12 hours at home by myself @ 5:00am I had another heart attack, rushed by ambulance to Tower Health ER. Paging Dr.Hope was there in split timing rushing me to the cath lab, well guess what 95% blockage. I could of and probably should of died. I am sorry bot with my genetics and they know my heart history extra care and vigilence should of been taken the 1st Catherization and they would of found 95% blokage, because I had to suffer thru another heart attack and another invasive procedure, which that could of killed me also I have more damage. You know it is my heart, my life. Tower Health Cardiology had all my records for years. But teaching an intern on my 1st Cath wad not to smart, because like I said I am a high risk heart patient and if extra vigilance was taken, I would not have had another heart attack or another cath going up the other groin. Everyone is in a rush today read more
