IGT Nurses LISTEN!   They pay attention.  It was a Nurse Practitioner who finally  paid attention to my husband saying his chest hurt.  Many doctors had poo-pooed his complaint, saying “that’s because you had open-heart surgery.”  She said:  “well, it may be just muscular, but let’s take an x-ray.”Bright and early the very next morning, she phoned:  “we need him to come in and have pulmonary testing.”  He was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, which turned out to be progressive.  Nearly 6 years later he died of it.  A nurse listened!  Many doctors didn’t!
