What's the point of going to hospital?

When they wont do any intervention, even with a very significant rise of troponin, still nothing is done. I have between 15 to 20 stents inserted, but still get recurring chest pain.

Hi

I take it there is nothing they can do, that's why they haven't done further Interventions !!

My Cardiologist has told me there is nothing else they can do to help my Heart along, so No further Intervention, because they will not achieve anything. He is the Expert in this so I accept his judgement.

I wonder if you are now in the same position, what do you want them to do, have you a Plan !!

ps I have had By pass surgery and further Stenting and I also still have some pain along with acute attacks of Breathlessness, but Medication is all that's available so you just have to get on with it.

I wish I could shuffle the pack and get a better hand but unfortunately you have to play the one which has been dealt

Regards
