Grandma’s Sister Takes my grandma to her cardiologist
In the emergency room in the Heart Center, the ER doc suggested my grandma seek the advice of a consultant afterwards.
My grandma cancelled twice with an appointment to send her to our doctor Dr. Divina Hey-Gonzales.
Just today, my grandma accepted the offer of her sister to have her be examined by her personal cardiologist Dr. Cereso at the Ace diagnostics clinic in Fairview, Quezon City.
Tests he made were:
Complete Blood Test
Lung X-Ray
2D Echo
Holter’s Report (so my grandma has this device attached to her for 24 hours so the device can get a 24 hour reading)
My grandma is scheduled to return to Dr. Cereso on Saturday for the results of his diagnostics.
In the meantime Dr. Cereso ordered the continuation of the drug cocktail my grandma was previously taking. But it seems the nannie forgot to mention that in the E.R. my grandma was ordered to take aspirin and enalapril. I wonder if they omitted those 2 drugs or they added those 2 drugs on top of the old drugs.
So my grandma’s sister is in charge this time. I think that’s wonderful. Honest compassion for her sister. Of course they are in the drug paradigm. But honest compassion none the less.
Now I know the real reason my grandma was refusing to see a consultant. She was afraid that a consultant would suggest an operation. Her sister made it clear to her that 83 year olds aren’t given operations.
I did ask my grandma’s sister the important question: “So what diet did Dr. Cereso recommend?” She replied, that there was nothing special ordered, just a “NORMAL” diet. And what is normal? Oh yeah, the standard US Food Pyramid. Hmmm…. I hope my grandma continues drinking the coconuts and continues consuming the yellow kamote and the plethora of green vegetables and fruits.
The fans reading this must realize that having the MD as a prefix means one is licensed to kill. Also the RX on the packaging also means it is licensed to kill. Just like the recent study in Florida, USA where the RX drugs killed 3x more than than the illegal drugs.
But, you never know, maybe this MD knows his cocktails very well.
