My grandfather 30 years plus went to the emergency room with chest pains. They wanted a copy of his EKG from his doctor. They called his doctor, he went to his office and delivered them to the hospital. My grandfather had a massive heart attack while waiting for his doctor.
30 years latter. EMS comes to the park take an EKG wires to the hospital a cardiologist reads the EKG. EMS gives me baby aspirins and Nitroglycerin spray. I leave the hospital in two days.
Yes times have changed.
