Living to tell the taleYou never know what life is going to hand you. One minute I was at an Urgent Care Center complaining of a soreneck, the next minute I was being rushed by ambulance to High Point Regional. Apparently, the doctor had seensomething alarming on my EKG, and I needed immediate emergency care. During the ambulance ride, my heartwent into cardiogenic shock and stopped pumping blood which then pooled in my vital organs and caused themto start failing. When we arrived at High Point Regional, I was wheeled directly into the Cardiac Cath Lab. Thetalented surgeons there worked on me and helped me cheat death.I am Living Proof of Total Care.
