I know this sounds bad but you need to go to your local department of scoial services. You need medical assistance NOW. It may be a lot of paperwork but providing you with the appropriate medical care and support to get you well to hold a good job is what you need right now.

Your subject is somewhat vague, but I believe the web site below can help.\nEnter Valve into their search window. Several device manufacturers are mentioned.\nHope this helps.

First I would ask for an echocardiogram with & without saline (water bubbles); this will show any & hopefully all holes in your heart. I had it done & they found I was missing a chamber and had holes on the opposite side of my heart which required them to "cath" my heart. They make a small slice in the groin area & go through a main artery in your leg up to your heart. I'm only 5' & 100 lbs & they couldn't knock me out with morphine (I watched the entire procedure & ticked off my cardiologist -lol). My personal opinion would be 1. ask questions, make a list if you have to, 2. check out the surgeons & their history, & 3. if they are as good as they check out to be the procedure will be a cakewalk for you. I was 38 when they found all of this & now I'm 43 and alive to see my baby (23) get married this coming August to a wonderful young lady. My Dad had 2 triple arterial bypasses & he lost a leg in Korea and God bless him, he'll be 79 this July. Yes, I had a good role model but it is normal to get upset when a Dr mentions a prob w/the heart & that you have to face surgery. I now know how a lobster feels having its chest cracked but thorasic & cardiac surgery is so advanced that I can promise you that you'll be fine. Try to keep a positive attitude and have faith; they told me after 3 days that if I could walk up & down a flight of stairs 4 times, I could go home..........I bolted & got my boney butt outta that hospital & back into my own home in no time. My thoughts & prayers are with you (Navy brat here) but above all : keep the faith.\nBeth

It could be your heart. I would see a doctor to sort it out.

You must contact your GP. If its convenient take a friend along for support. As far as I know back-dated sickness lines are valid- after all you could have been in a coma for the previous week. Failing that, insist on a home visit from your GP. 'Phone or write to your employer-they may be unsympathetic but it shows you have been trying to manage the conduct of your abscence. Assuming you get a long-term sickness note, (even two weeks), use the time to make a note of the demands made on you and why you consider them unreasonable. Contact your union rep or professional representative- they should be able to give you legal advice and support in any tribunal. It is the duty of your employer to ensure safe and secure working conditions for you and this certainly includes work-related stress. You will probably not lose your job, so do not worry on that account. So get in touch with your GP first, you'll feel alot better having made that first step. Remember stress is an illness, as much as flu, measles, chickenpox etc, it can and does happen to anyone and its NOT a sign of weakness! Good Luck!

I don't know how close your head office is, but if it's close, I would designate someone to hold down the fort at your branch, and make a personal trip to the head office (that is, if you have tried calling them with the problem).\n\nTake whatever evidence you have of the lack of support, and prepare your statement in advance to be short and to the point.  Other than that, I wish you luck.  \n\nBest to keep your reputation, look at other jobs in your area if you have no luck with your head office.\n\nGood luck.

Write to the Provident Fund officer in U R area and inform him about the employment and ask him to take action and transfer the Money to U R account

contact the occupational health department of your local hospital, if they can't do it as you're an individual they will be able to point you in the right direction!\nPS i hope you've already got the new job - it's a lot of effort (and expense) to go to if you've not been offered the post yet!

Increase heatbeat.  But if the leak continues, blood pressure will decrease and eventually the heart will pump nothing.\n\nCheers.

Why not ask your wife or your landlord to call and tell them that you are definitely interested in this job. That will give you more of an edge. Good luck to you and safe return.

you should see your doctor to rule out something serious. They will make sure it's not your heart.

herniated disc 10-12-01. GET A LAWYER! the fact the injury happened on the job is the real issue, not weather or not you are working there now. If wc paid once they will continue until your doctor releases you. If you need surgery find as much about the surgeon as possible. Alot of times ins companies give you to the lowest bidder so be careful. Keep in touch if you need anything, I'm on messenger. Its good to know that you did report it, and start treatment.

Who told you you need surgery?  Was it your cardiologist or family practice doctor?  Whoever diagnosed your problem should also recommend a cardiac surgeon for you...they would not just tell you to find one on your own.  You can also look in the phone book and find the County Medical Association and call them for a recommendation. When you speak to a cardiac sugeon, if you want another opinion, I'm sure he would also give you names of other surgeons to interview.
