I am always dragging my test results around from lab to doctor, reading them on the Elevator without knowing what they mean, and I would like to become educated and aware of what they all mean.
Everytime I go for an EKG I have to have a chat with the attendant and tell them not to panic. Twice I have had them run to call 911 on me, yet I feel fine, and on my way to the doctor once I get this test done.
I know the reading from the lead on the left side, drops right off the bottom of the page. They ask me if I am in pain, they ask themselves if the machine is working right, they run for 911 as I mentioned before.
As for the Echo, staring at the monitor for 30 mintues as they run the test. I would like to know all those numbers, and what to look for. Even if I knew just 2 things to watch for on the screen, so I can compared each visit.
