[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 2288399, member: 23"] They advertise them on the radio all the time. I think whats happening is that they have new equipment for trial studies and the lower cost gets them subjects for their studies and in some cases they find problems with the patients and more trouble is avoided. I've got two stents myself. Every time I have indigestion or pain, I run down an evaluation list in case of heart problems. Chest pain? Shortness of breath? Sweaty? Pain in arms and/or back? Pain that radiates or moves around? Pressure like someone pushing or standing on your chest? If I have several of those symptoms, I go to the hospital. But, you also have to evaluate a little bit to see if there is a reason for any of those symptoms. If I went to the hospital every time I had a single one of these symptoms, I'd be there daily, sometimes more than once. After awhile the ER folks see you coming and "yup, here he comes again, I wonder what it is this time". I'm sure the Doc can expand more on the symptoms and causes for the symptoms and their reasons.
