The services cardiologists are supposed to provide! The patient presented with symptoms consistent with significant blockage to a cardiologist! If the stress test wasn't given immediately, he should have been given orders for no exertion. This guy could have went home and died playing catch with his kids.
In other words, you don't know.

Unless you were either present during the examination or read the physician's notes you have no idea what was said. You are ASSUMING something to support your interpretation of events, but you're SPECULATING.

First with significant blockage a stress stest is not always indicated. In fact it might be a bad idea. I had a relative who went with symptoms of blockaage and was given an appointment with the cath lab. The operative word here is appointment. All of these tests have to be scheduled. So unless you are a cardiologist and know for a fact that the jerk was NOT given instructions to avoid strenuous activity, then you're just blowing pink smoke to support your opinion.
My opinion is that the ahole engaged in risky behavior and paid the consequences. I had another relative who went to a cardiologist was given the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease and was scheduled for further tests later. Died from a massive heat attack a couple of days later. Was this the cardiologist's fault? of course not
The modern trend is to want to blame someone, anyone except the responsible party for bad things that happen. You die, it's the doctor's fault. You get AIDS, it's society's fault. You spill hot coffee on yourself it's MacDonalds fault. You get robbed it's the NRA's fault. Teenagers kill someone in a car crash? It's the parent's fault.
Sorry good buddy. I just don't buy it. Individuals are responsible for their actions and should bear the consequences. Considering that individual responsibility is considered a conservative philosophy, I'm mildly surprised that you are espousing the opposite view on what is nominally a conservative forum.
I remember you now. You’re the welfare queen troll who thinks people NOT on welfare are parasites. Go hump someone else’s leg. I’m done with you, loser.
