I wish I saw that video before my cath. It would have taken a lot of the mystery and anxiety away. Thanks for sharing.

Good video Ross. Thanks for sharing it. I was partly awake for mine and I could see all the pictures on the screen. It's amazing what they can do..

I haven't seen it yet, is it a DIY video on how to do it yourself?

 

[Ross]

Pretty close!

I was such a wreck, they had to give me over-the-top dose of "joy juice" and I missed everything - I am one of those folk that would have loved to have seen it, would have loved to help the doc manipulate the doo-hickey and all, and I dozed, and dozed, and dozed . . . I must watch this.

I was only 16 when I had mine done, and it scared the tar out of me when the shot me up with the contrast. That and when the nurse that looked like Frankenstein came at me to shave my groin. YIKES!!

LOL. I saw the video. Was that my Big Fat Greek Cardiologist doing the procedure? Still, a good thing for newbies to heart caths to see!

And my femoral artery's been opened more times than a garage door!
