I'd like to get back to the article you posted, Janene, for just a moment, shall we?
You think taking a pulse to determine a possible stroke is equivalent to having a EKG exam. Is that correct?
OK. I admit to being kind, sometimes. If I had to guess, I'd say you're a caring person. And you accuse me of not being direct? I'm
shattered.
Seriously, I believe you lack professional judgment -- I know people who should not be in health services. Liability isn't an issue for you in
Mexico, is it? I mean, malpractice doesn't even exist, does it?

You are insulting. Just because I am not the mainstream profile of a physician, and enjoy bantering and communicating and posting on the Forum, I
lack judgment in your esteemed and credentialed (I am not sure in what, however) mind. Where did I say that I think checking your pulse is better
than an EKG? I think you probably need to go back to English Comprehension 1st year of college if indeed you did attend a university or college. I
am saying that a simple check of your pulse, as I do almost everyday can alert you to possible problems and yes, if afib is found or an irregular
heartbeat, it can help you prevent a stroke if you seek medical treatment. I am standing by the article and I am sorry if you don't like it. You
have the problem in resolving the fact that a physician can't be a good physician and have another side to them that can like to banter with sarcasm
and humor. I have nothing to prove to you and I resent you making comments about my judgment and lawsuits when you know nothing about the patients I
have treated in the past and present. I caution you to think twice before you make these comments again.

Honestly, too much justification. The article is black and white and it's simplistic and misguided. So is your judgment here for posting the
article and that's my opinion. Nothing personal here -- I'm not addressing your personal views or banter. I think you are misguided posting
the views you have. I have to think putting your foot in your mouth, repeatedly, is tiresome and reflects badly on who you state you are. Get
over yourself Janene.

I'm probably a bit slow but I'm still confused how checking your pulse can prevent a stroke? That is the subject of this thread right?
I am not a doctor but I do have an opinion. Seems to me that maybe one should eat a well balanced diet, get plenty of exercise, consult your
physician of choice regularly, and explore BAJA as much as possible. In my opinion, take it for what it's worth, this seems to be a better route to
stroke prevention.

Curriculum vitae and credentials? Then you can call bullchit bullchit? I'm sure the gown fit, but man, where did they find a big enough cap and
tassel? Whew. I think i'll check my pulse and have a couple strokes.

The title of the thread is poorly worded that's for sure. I guess it boils down to if your heart is flopping around like a freshly caught fish on the
deck, which you can detect by feeling your pulse before you faint and hit the deck like a sack of potatoes, a piece of sewerage glukus on the inside
of a coronary artery caused by eating McDonald's french fries for decades may break off and get caught between the rocks in ones noggin, causing a
really bad headache and other assorted serious problems.

It appears the problem with this thread is that the article was written with the assumption the level of comprehension was somewhat higher than has
been encountered here. Probably should have included detailed instructions complete with maps to medical facilities on action to be taken if an
irregular pulse is detected.
