Cath lab deluge - A haiku.

Abstract

This haiku reflects on the author's experience of lying on a hospital catheterization table with minimal chest pressure and shortness of breath symptoms, and what was found to be an abnormal electrocardiogram and Troponin. The cardiologist's diligent efforts to clear the blockages with a resultant torrent of blood flow into those vessels was followed by a series of implanted stents that not only saved his life, but also the long-term viability of his heart.
