Due to Kelly's astuteness, I was brought into surgery for catheterization within an hour.
I went to Riverview Hospital ER in severe pain thinking it was pancreatitis which I have had 3 times in the past. I was in severe pain and needed help. The staff was going down the path of pancreatitis and my nurse started questioning about a heart attack of which I was in denial. She insisted that women present differently for a heart attack and after a cardiogram or EKG and low and behold due to her astuteness I was brought into surgery for catheterization within an hour. The outcome was 100% blockage of an artery and a stent was inserted. Due to Kelly's assertions and suggestions I was diagnosed almost immediately. She probably saved my life with the speed she worked.
