My dear father had a Coronary Thrombosis major heart attack and passed away one saturday evening in October.
What I cannot get past is that he went to his GP on the Thursday due to shoulder pain, and was sent to the hospital for an xray on the Friday to check if the shoulder pain was muscular.
He was scheduled to have blood tests on the following Wednesday, but sadly did not make this.
I am struggling to accept whether or not the GP should have acted with a bit more urgency??
My Dad was only 61, he did have high blood pressure/cholesterol but was otherwise healthy and fit. I'm thinking maybe should he of been sent to hospital that day for heart investigations? Or is it normal course of action when there's no other previous history of heart problems.
I know its not going to make a difference but would welcome opinions to maybe help put my mind at ease..
If it makes a difference, this happened in Wales.
