As a 24 year old woman i went to the ER for chest pain and weight feeling on my chest. I was told 24 year old women do not have heart attacks, I was a hypochondriac, stop wasting his time, go home, cancel my cardiology aplointment, dont waste a cardiologists time too. My cardiologist refused to let me cancel, 2 days later i had an angio and my pulmonary valve had fused shut and i was told i wouldnt have survived a week without surgery.
