"I am very sure my husband has no heart attack. I am a homeopathic and this is clearly not a heart attack. You don't know what you are doing."
I am a paramedic for 24 years, a critical care paramedic for 16. The husband had such a "myocardial infarction out of the book"-ECG it almost looked twice. He literally almost coded on us twice. And this lady walzes in (funny enough: They were in the process of separating) and after 60 sec. decides she knows what's up.
Homeopathy therapists here have no formal training. Just a state exam that makes sure they don't kill someone too often.
The husband barely made it,personally I think mostly out of spite for her. Had a cardiac arrest twice while in the cathlab,but survived without neurological issues.
It's really really rare that I am out of words and don't have a comeback. But that woman in that moment?
(For the medical folks: Massive STEMI accross 3 leads, massive contractility issue visible on POCUS, later on become pressure dependended, had VF arrest during PCI, needed an impella for two weeks)
