Sanford Heart and Vascular Clinic

Was dismissed about my diagnosis from 16 years ago (can't get records, they are out of business and no one can find them for some reason), he brought up another diagnosis and then told me nothing about it. No test for it, no explanation, just told to wear compression socks... said that what I'm experiencing was fine, although I experience it for an hour or so and makes me feel terrible, especially when exercising. Was supposed to see an electrophysiologist and saw a cardiologist instead and reluctantly passed me through to electrophysiology. I just canceled that appointment because I can't go through the stress and anxiety again. Gaslighting with women is a real issue.

Last Wednesday I was flown to you to save my life. I had no idea how critical I was. Let me say this. I have a fear of hospitals like you could never imagine. I totally have a mental melt down. It's not a joke this is a real issue for me. I am saying this because I want those that saved my life to know that I wasn't ungrateful, I was freaking out so bad. I had to get out of there. I really wished that someone could have talked me down and out of leaving minutes after two stints and 3 blood clots removed. Still I didn't realize the seriousness of my situation. I prayed to God for a good outcome while being transported in the helicopter. I fear everyone involved probably thinks I am ungrateful. That's not the case at all. I was freaking out there by myself and getting paranoid of my surroundings. Yes I am a veteran. Yes PTSD, is a real barrier in my life. I needed somebody to talk me down. No one there for me made it worse. Today is Monday and I am feeling a little better thanks to everyone involved. I am sorry if I insulted anyone. I am very grateful and thankful that I am still here to enjoy my grandkids for a while longer. The people that worked on me and helped me, I thank all of you from the depth of my heart.

Nurses, doctors, receptionists all exceptional professionals.

Go here to check on my heart every couple years and great people to talk to and overall a good welcoming place.
