Testimonial
On Monday morning, October 31,2005 after going out for breakfast around 6:00am. I then went to the polls to vote. I started feeling bad and started home. From this point on, I have no recollection of the rest of this day or of the next 10 days. The hostess from IHOP told me I stopped in for lunch and I obviously started doing laundry, since I found clothes in the dryer. I called my friend, Gerald, in the early afternoon and asked him to come get me and take me to the doctor's office. He encouraged me to call 911, but he said I insisted he come for me.
I saw Dr. Bonacquisti, who performed and EKG on me, which was normal. I was chest pain-free, but he encouraged me to go by ambulance to the hospital.. I insisted my friend take me. When I got to his truck, I had a heart attack. Gerald summoned Dr. B, who immediately laid me on the parking lot ground (which was cold and rainy, helping to keep my body temperature dropped),did a chest hit, shocked me 11 times with an AED and put me on the defibrillator. After about 30 minutes of trying to resuscitate me, he called the ambulance and had Dr. Grawal waiting at the hospital. He told my friend he was sorry, but was unable to get a pulse and that I was dead.
The EMS continued to try to resuscitate me on the way to the hospital by shocking me 17 more times and finally getting a pulse. Dr. Grawal catheterized my right coronary artery which was 100% blocked. I was admitted to Baylor Garland where I stayed until the following Wednesday. I can't remember the days there, but they took very good care of me and I had lots of family and friends visit me. I have lost 50 pounds, I exercise now and feel very good.
