Amazing video bro!lots of useful information packed in a quick video...Also i would like to add that as an ER nurse, ive seen many patients coming to the hospital cause of a hematoma that was built up in the spot that the coronary cathetirization took place...Anyway, amazing video nurseMendoza, keep it up!

Sorry, I did not hear a 12 Lead (ECG/EKG) as a prelim diagnostic. We do that stat!

I am 24 and I went to the ER for chest pain and they wouldn't let me walk, they wheeled me back, I kept getting up and pacing and they told me to sit back down. They got my vitals, my blood pressure was so high they were shocked I even walked in and my heart rate was over 120. They did all you mentioned, blood work, testing, x-ray, checked for blood clot in my lungs. Questioned me about if I'm afraid of anything going on at home or stress. A few of my labs came back with elevated WBC and electrolytes were abnormal low potassium. They decided to keep me over night under observation. All of my heart testing came back good and normal. I'm pretty sure it was anxiety or panic. I'm doing fine now.
