Hello.
0:02
Hello.
0:02
Hi there.
0:03
I'm sorry about that.
0:04
I haven't got very good signals.
0:05
I'm no internet.
0:05
I'm sorry.
0:07
How are you?
0:08
Yeah, good.
0:09
How are you?
0:10
I'm okay.
0:10
Are you in England or France?
0:12
France?
0:13
I'm in Hastings.
0:15
Oh, okay.
0:16
Yeah, everything's okay.
0:18
I don't need to panic or anything.
0:21
Well, granddad's in hospital and he's having a heart attack.
0:24
but I don't think it's too serious.
0:26
But I thought I have to let you know about it.
0:29
Okay.
0:29
Yeah, thank you for letting me know.
0:31
It's all right.
0:31
He's, uh, he's in the cat lab now, so gonna have a like a scan and a look around.
0:36
and hopefully put a stent in and resolve it there and then.
0:39
Okay.
0:40
But, uh, it's, I don't know.
0:42
It's been, he's had pains for a few days and he was actually in hospital here, uh, for two nights.
0:48
but they couldn't work out what it was.
0:50
But we didn't say anything because when we first came in, they did all the obs and they said, No, there's no sign of a heart attack.
0:55
And said he's fine.
0:56
And then Teddy, no, he's probably been having it for days.
1:01
Um, I don't think it's that serious, but it's like, um, they didn't know if it was from eating because he's been burping, he's like just distended.
1:13
solar plexus and stuff and they couldn't work out what it was.
1:15
They did several tests.
1:16
Like he had raised troponin levels.
1:18
He had one abnormal ECG but four normal ones.
1:22
So after two days I sent him home with a recommendation to try and arrange something with the GP to have more investigations.
1:30
And here we are.
1:32
It got worse last night, the pain.
1:34
He didn't want to do anything.
1:36
I told him, We're not going to ignore that.
1:37
I went to this place called an ambulance.
1:39
They did an ECG and they saw immediate signs.
1:43
He's been rushed here on blue lights and firewalls and he's straight into the cath lab.
1:50
They're working on him now.
1:52
So I won't know anymore for another hour and a bit as to how it's gone.
1:56
Okay.
1:57
I didn't even really get to see him because by the ambulance, I lost the ambulance.
2:01
Stephen.
2:02
Okay, so you've just followed him to the hospital.
2:04
I tried to, but yeah.
2:06
Yeah, where are you at Hospital?
2:10
What?
2:10
Which hospital?
2:11
Northern general.
2:12
Northern general.
2:13
in Sheffield.
2:13
Northern general.
2:15
Oh yeah.
2:15
Cardiology is in the cath lab and under the care of the first seven cardiology wards.
2:22
Okay.
2:23
Bypassed everything.
2:24
So, no news, but well, there's news, but it's to follow.
2:31
Okay.
2:31
All right, I just wanted to let you know, but don't worry.
2:34
All right, but it wasn't like out of it, when the ambulance came and got him.
2:38
He was No, it's weird.
2:40
In pain.
2:42
Yeah, he was in real pain.
2:43
He's not been able to eat because he saw the food setting him off.
2:45
He's not been to the toilet.
2:46
So he's like discomfort and also it was really strong pain.
2:51
It got a bit better, but we're wondering, you know, I'm talking with Gloria, she's in the waiting room where there's no signal and it's like, stop taking some of the heart medicine,
3:00
And he spent days, if not weeks, cumulatively in bed, because of the back.
3:07
So, because of the back.
3:08
Probably didn't help his heart and he was having side effects from the painkiller, so he didn't take all the uphill and all that.
3:14
It's possible that it's one of the stents that they've done before that's fairly bit like what happened with Nano, obviously, by Syria.
3:22
Um in which case it's an easy job for them.
3:25
yeah so but
3:27
We won't know anything for a bit.
3:30
I think he's been here for about 15 minutes so this one came 1 to 1.5 hours to at least and then.
3:37
And MRI and everything, I guess.
3:40
I don't know.
3:40
I might be
3:40
Able to do or resolve it with a S10 or something now.
3:45
I don't know.
3:45
He's in there.
3:46
That's what just let's see.
3:48
theater for all hard things without cutting people off and hopefully it doesn't come to that.
3:53
Yeah.
3:54
So yeah, uh, I'll keep doing informed and I just want to tell, you know,
3:58
Give Gloria my best.
4:00
Well, thank you.
4:01
She must be worried.
4:03
Yeah, hasn't she?
4:05
Yeah, she was.
4:07
She sat with him the other night because he came to me on last Tuesday and he said, can you take?
4:12
Give me a lift to the hospital because I don't want to park there?
4:15
And I said why?
4:15
He said I've been I've been pain in my chest and I want to get it checked.
4:20
And I said you don't, and he said can you take me tomorrow because I'm busy today?
4:23
And I said no you don't go to.
4:25
tomorrow.
4:25
If you participate, you're going now.
4:27
So when you're going.
4:28
You think you're going
4:29
To the hospital for long enough that you don't want to leave your car there, you go immediately?
4:33
Exactly.
4:33
And then and then we negotiated down to 9 p.m.
4:36
I'm Tuesday night.
4:38
And he said, Let's go in the night because it'll be quieter.
4:41
Yeah, right.
4:42
So we got there at 9 p.m. and there was 175 people waiting.
4:46
Oh, and day in here.
4:48
With chest pain, you did get priority, but you just got priority for the triage.
4:53
Yeah.
4:53
And the triage really did the blood pressure and an EPG and said, well, there's no alarming signs of the minute.
4:59
So,
5:00
To see in the waiting room behind the other 175 people.
5:04
And then they didn't let him out because they couldn't work it out.
5:07
They weren't sure but they didn't think he was in any danger so they sent him home after two nights.
5:13
Um, and he seemed to get better, but then last night it's come on severe.
5:18
So, okay, there's a lesson in it.
5:21
You don't ignore those things and, uh, well, But he got from the point of the ambulance arriving to being in the cath lab was about 30 minutes.
5:32
But the point where it started to now, it's dead, so don't know what the long term effect will be.
5:40
Yeah, so I just want to help you.
5:42
I'm here, Guro is here and we'll uh, we'll keep you posted.
5:47
Yeah, please do.
5:48
Grab your any guns in case he has a stay and you want to visit or anything.
5:52
Yeah, absolutely.
5:53
Okay, I'll let you know.
5:55
But yeah, keep me updated.
5:56
Will do.
5:57
Thank you.
5:57
I'll text you if I can't.
5:58
Okay, bye for now.
6:00
I.
