Where’s his cape?
“A member began to experience heart palpitations while on a business trip in China. I called the hospital; arranged for a translator, who was there on arrival; and followed that with faxed medical records within minutes. The patient was seen immediately. His EKG’s indicated an acute heart attack. I reviewed faxes of the EKG’s with a Chinesespeaking cardiologist at Johns Hopkins University and confirmed the diagnosis. The particular hospital was not equipped to handle an acute heart attack, so our team arranged emergency air evacuation.”
