Good morning. I had an silent heart attack on my way to the hospital in November 2017. I had chest pain and cough badly. I knew something was wrong. The paramedic saw my EKG and turn the ambulance around to go to Meadville hospital. The paramedic sent pictures to the doctor waiting for me. They worked very fast. I had congestive heart failure at the same time. I am so thankful the paramedic saw what was going on. An directed me to the right hospital. The next day I was life flighted tomUPMC Hamot in Erie. I was their for a month then a nursing home for month and a half. It’s a scary feeling when something goes wrong. Hugs
