Being a good boy, 4 weeks after the event is the order for my case. (Maybe it's an age thingDr Fingers wrote:Good luck with it all. Just had a major whoo ha of my own, now mending, but watch the driving... If the docs told you not to drive, you're not insured!

)One lad in the ward was told one week.
I really felt sorry for another lad. Self employed truck driver, qualified commercial diver (to 50 metres), regular smoker and 3-4 stone over weight.
He has some challenges.
One amusing (now) part of my checks was going on the treadmill. I made a miserable 3 minutes before the pains increased. Waiting outside while the next lad was on was torture. I could hear the machine getting faster and faster. He seemed to be on it for 20 minutes and the technician kept asking if he wanted to stop. He came out lathered in sweat. Turned out he hadn't had a heart attack, just a sudden dip in blood pressure but he was whipped into hospital because he had had a recent attack in Turkey on holiday and had his 2nd stent fitted, (bill £17,000). He got home right after his treadmill test!
