Roblocked arteries

I knew a man with pain in his upper back. He was going to an unethical chiropractor who was cracking his back (because of the pain). However, every time he exercised… he got short of breath and the pain came back.

This chiropractor had a cardiologist working for him and conducted a stress test (to bill Medicare for extra money). The thing was, no one looked at the stress test.

On the top of the stress test report, it read “abnormal”. His son who was my patient (and an esteemed lawyer), had his father come in to see me and brought (with them) all the records from the chiropractor.

I looked at the stress test report and immediately knew he had coronary artery disease (and was about to have a myocardial infarction). I immediately called Dr. Dan K. (a top cardiac Cath guy at a nearby hospital). We arranged an immediate cardiac catheterization.

Lo and behold, three of his arteries were blocked! He had immediate coronary artery bypass surgery (and lived to tell this story).
