Kindle Notes & Highlights
A big sign of myocardial infarction was an elephant on the chest. Next big sign: sharp pain along the left arm. Not always the case and not always the left, particularly with women,
Many women died because a lack of shooting pain down the left arm. Many were misdiagnosed as panic attacks. Medical care was based on studies of men not women. Heart attacks and headaches were misdiagnosed as mental issues. My mother in-law died of a brain tumor, her doc treated her with tranquilizers. Never considered real medical issue. My niece almost died from brain tumor but she was insistent about her medical care being done properly. Women must be vigilant medical consumers.
