Short version: my 51-year-old son went on a ski trip and developed bronchitis which progressed to bronchial pneumonia. Urgent care prescribed antibiotics.
He returned home and sought a follow-up with his primary care physician. A few hours later he received an urgent call directing him to go to the emergency room asap as tests indicated congestive heart failure. Big OOPS.
In the course of treating pericardial effusion, an angiogram was conducted—significant blockage of a vein was identified. BIGGER OOPS!
Days later he had an angioplasty and three stents were placed. A blockage 5 cm long was removed.
If he hadn't developed phenomena the coronary artery disease would have gone undetected and he would likely have had a heart attack and died.
