Oddly enough..when they went in the second time for the actual
angioplasty..the big high tech heart center used the two large
orderlies for the pressure. The country hospital used the C clamp.
After being badly bruised up from the angiogram the day before..it was
a bit tender. 3 grains of morphine only took the top layer off. I
asked the orderly to back off a smidge..and he didnt. I then TOLD him
to back off a bit..and when he didnt. I recall grabbing him by the
back of the belt and hoisting him off the floor one handed. Pain=
adrenalin..and it really really really really hurt. I ran though my
entire vocabularly of nasty words in 5 languages, causing a very
diverse group of staff to variously bust up laughing, get all puffed
up or blush. My lungs are good and I simply lost control..so they
closed the doors to that wing. I understand that they heard me at the
front lobby upstairs. Probably considered it bad for business ...

Surprisingly enough (from our viewpoint) those applying the pressure don't
seem at all interested in relaxing the pressure a bit. I wasn't loud, well
at least I think I wasn't, but I do remember the nurse saying that, "I'm
sorry but the orders don't call for more pain medication" just before I
grabbed both of her wrists and lifted her up and that with two others
trying to keep me from doing so. Interestingly, a few minutes later the
orders got changed and I lost all interest in the proceedings.
