[chottala.com] Something Dr wont tell you.. FW: A Chat with Dr. Devi Shetty (Heart Specialist) - Very Useful!


I had some very close encounter with HEART PROBLEM at least that is what I thought..may be we will get some where..One of the US best heart surgeon who died few years back..was a Dr under whose name they built a what they call HEART CENTRE in Houston called DEBAKEY HEART CENTRE..I think, his death news reported he successfully performed at a minimum..100 if not more transplant before his death..

My issue was, I was having chest pain on the left side of my heart..this about AL GORE & BUSH election...I decided to stop by next door..FIRE STATION..well Fire Fighters are the Only republicans in Houston, three unions..they hold fund raising for GIULIANI at $40,000.00/plate, just imagine who affords those lunch..I guess their are many Donald Trumps.., 

I approached one of the staff on duty see if they could do a test on me..they have these emergency EKG stuff, they hooked me up and looked at the data and said everything looks ok..if I wish to further investigate the issue..I should stop by near by Hospital..about this time I was working cleaning a CAR WASH..I had to spray some Chemicals one day...to clean the wall surface..with mask and etc on..

It was not only Pain in the left of heart...it was also as if I was going paralyses.as if some thing was running up and down through out my body...from my left thumb to right thumb..I started hearing voices and seeing things by then .....well it sayed you are not going to die, left thumb is AL GORE and right thumb was BUSH..tell how sophisticated is this...

Well then It bothered me enough that i decided to go to hospital..they hospitalized me with breathing problem associated with it....Dr kept me few days and ran few test ..a Pakistani Dr by shear luck..It was ANGIOPLASTI....SONOGRAM and Xrays...he at the end says he could not find anything everything came out normal...more as i go
