I AM NOT AGAINST SECOND OPINIONS. BUT NOT IN EMERGENCIES LIKE HEART ATTACKS. Now read this.
A 42y old guy came in with chest pain of 2 days. I asked for an ECG, Echo, and Troponin test. Reports were alarming. It looked like he's already had a #HeartAttack in the last 24-48 hours
If you have your doctor's personal number, use it judiciously. Message and wait. Call only if -
1. Genuine emergency - although you'll be better off going to hospital directly.
2. No second reason
