Seeing as you will be immobilized for several hours, and they frown on you lifting you head, bring good music.

If they don't use a "closure device", they will sandbag you leg and make you lay there for 6-8 hours. If they use the closure device, you'll probably get out in three.
Did you know... The first cardiac catheterization on a human was performed by Werner Forssmann. And his patient was...
Himself.
It won him the Nobel Prize, and a "pink slip" for his unorthodox methods.

Thankfully, they had a TV in the room.
The procedure itself was a very unique experience. Especially when it came to the contrast injections.
But I got two follow-up calls. One was a 24 hour "How are things?" checkup from the hospital. The other was the surgeon's assistant scheduling the consultation.
So things are, I think, going to move fairly quickly now.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

You get gauze no matter what. And tape. Hospitals like gauze & tape.
How long did they make you lay there?
When I had mine, I felt a little "something" at one point. Something like a heart beat skipped. Not sure what they were doing at that time. Respiratory was in setting up my CPAP (in case I dozed off). The Doc was done with the cath by the time they got the CPAP setup. Doc then showed me the replay, and they wheeled me out.

My appointment was for 1 PM, they came and got me shortly after 1, and after a quick bathroom break (by me) they wheeled me in, and did the procedure. I got to leave at 5 PM.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.
