I went to my doctor because I was short of breath. My blood oxygen was 85%. She gave me a nebulizer treatment and sent me home with a couple of prescriptions. She said, “Call me if you aren’t feeling better in a couple of days.” Two days later, I was in the ICU after having a massive pulmonary embolism removed. I’m lucky to be alive. I saw my doctor a week after, and she claimed that I didn’t tell her all my symptoms and she berated me for not recognizing the symptoms of PE. She’s not my doctor anymore. (JM)
