Dr. Legato:
I had one patient who sent out for meso soup when she was having a heart attack because she thought that would soothe her troubled stomach. So, I think that women should be aware of the fact that number one, their symptoms may be quite different and that the average time that they wait to report their symptoms, either to an emergency room or to their physician, may be four hours longer than men.
