Myocardial Infarction?

[Corso]

I'm pretty well versed in radiographic procedures thanks, I was simple saying that suggesting there as some sort of epidemic based on 70000 being done a year is not true.

I maybe miss used routine and should have said standard. I'm not suggesting it doesn't have risk associated with it all procedures do.

I´ve had 2 through the wrist, my next will be the groin. Stents put in both times. I don´t take this lightly, it could have been a lot worse.

Epidemic? No. My reaction to the amount of treatments done every year was because before this i had no idea. Speaking to others it´s a lot more common than i myself first thought.

I think if he'd said that 70k was a sudden change it could be construed as an "epidemic." But if that's a representation of a normal year then it's likely a sign of either good access or of a health proble mor sustained than epidemic. I suspect for most of us in the industrialized world it's a bit of both (access and sustained poor heart health)

Sorry if I sounded dismissive, that wasn't my intention.
