No known risk factors.
RP, LFT, FBC: perfect. No dyslipidaemia
ECG: SR, no acute ischaemic changes

Stress Test: Not elaborated, but depressions (unsure of which leads) was informed over the phone
Angiogram: LAD 80% Narrowed. Diffuse.
I saw life pass right thru of me. I was angry, it being so unfair. I was cool, I wasnt irrational. I was still positive this could not be the last straw.
Right after the angio, he was told the only option was a by-pass.
3 days ago, the CTC Surgeon calls him up and said, it'll be angioplasty instead.
Miracles do happen.
As scary as it may sound, and as sureal it may be, I was not about to just sit back and watch the events unfold in front of me. This is one man who's gonna be actively managed.
He was so worried, Mummy said he was so down and almost did nothing around. But now he's back to singing and cooking and running around with Moo Moo, Im just so overwhelmed.
He made me medically qualified. Ive saved a lot of people, yes I have. And Ive brought a lot of lives in this world. And this is one man Im gonna make live, way beyond his prime.
It is indeed hard to digest. How a perfectly fit man can get his LAD narrowed so badly. His cholestrol level is so acceptable and there weren't any risk factors to pin point an early clue.
Well, it has happened. And the whole family's taking it positively. He's got enough lovin to last him forever.
My Daddy's gonna be fit and stong forever.
I'll be heading home this week, and will look into things and ensure him only the best.
On a different note, Ive completed my 3rd posting in ObGyn. It has been one year of me working.
I wouldnt say Ive learnt a lot, I could have done better. But Ive definitely learnt much.
Im thinkin of sitting for the MRCOG part 1. No harm.
It feels nice to be blogging again. It feels like a huge chunk of me has been deleted, not blogging. And there's just so much to say.
Well, take care now and be well.
Much love.
LOML!!!!
