Paramedic here - I once had a patient having chest pain, "it comes and goes, not a big deal".... Do the 12 lead, of course he's having a heart attack. "Sir, you're having a heart attack". Bring him to the hospital, cardiologist meets us in the ambulance bay, looks at the 12 lead, "Sir, you're having a heart attack". We go straight to the cath lab, the doctor is talking to him trying to get consent as we roll along, the whole time the guy is like "I don't think this is necessary, I'm fine, it's not a big deal". We lift him over onto the table and he goes, "just give me a minute here, I think I can fix this"
WHAT?!
"Stand back while I attempt to fix this MI!"
