to bed." My patient ultimately did fine, but only after 3 rounds
of post TPA ventricular fibrillation and full codes. I found out
the next morning - my colleague had been with him all night.
This you may think is an isolated once in a carrier event. But I
can actually recount many other very similar scenarios involving
local specialists. But even more amazing, upon reflection, are
the virtually hundreds of acts of clinical dedication my family
practice colleagues performed these past thirty years for each
other's patients when covering for each other. One of these
doctors was doing 11 admissions in a weekend, attending to a
family faced with a sudden death and also breaking the news
of terminal cancer to another patient. Attending to a family
faced with a sudden death, breaking the news of terminal cancer.
Meeting a patient at the office on a weekend to give them
medicine they cannot afford. These are but a few of hundreds of
examples in just my limited world of medicine. These patients
and families could have easily been pushed off, turfed to the
emergency room or a specialist, or just plain ignored. But my
colleagues did more than their job, because in the end it is not
the training, the required dictates of our certifying board, or
even the oath we take upon medical school graduation, but
rather a wonderful reality that in Chester County, the heart is
the physician. What a privilege it is to be a physician in Chester
County, where the Heart in medicine, is strong.
