I didn’t know that the emergency room would actually arrange to do all of that to stabilize the patient.
The patient would have to be in bad shape already to need that.[/quote]
The ER would not. But faced with someone who “says” they are actively having chest pain, they will admit. once admitted, a stress test will be done. since the patient really do have cardiac issues, the stress test will of course be positive.
so the doctors now have a patient who continue to report “ongoing pain” along with a positive stress test. they’ll do the angiogram and find the multiple blockage in the coronaries, and guess what, onward to the cardiac bypass the patient was hoping for.
