This is a must watch for everyone. Last year my MIL was ill, I talke to her and she said it was just a stomach virus. The next day I went by and check on her and when I saw her I loaded her up in the car and drove straight to the hospital calling my husband to go find his day (we live on the family farm) and get to the hospital. She was immediately transfered to a bigger hospital and went straight in for a heart cath. Unfortuneately, she had had several heart attacks in the previous days and the damage was to far gone, she passed away 3 weeks following. My nephew that is in med school said to prevent damage, heart cath needs to happen within 1 1/2 hours from first pain/sign of heart attack.
