No, cuz they didn't look at my leg...

until after the actual stress test part.. this was a stress echo, so they sonogrammed photos of my heart, made me run on a treadmill, that had to resonnogram the same heart photos wit elevated heart rate..

But, there are two conditions to do the test correctly.. A if you take Metoprolol (heart rate med) you cannot take it the day before and the day of the test.. B you can't have any caffeine the day of the test..

Nobody ever gave me those instructions, so I violated on both counts.. we know them all cuz my wife works with them a lot.. Not really sure why they were their normal selves.. When they DID look at my leg, the cardiologist just said something like, "that looks awful angry".. but he really didn't care cuz we were pretty sure it wasn't a blood clot at that point.. He would care about a blood clot, but not an infection..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
