A word from a teacher of nurses...

It seems Helen must have misheard. I have just received this e-mail from a friend of ours who teaches nurses:

Although I'm suffering from vicarious stress reading your blog- also liking keeping up to date-
VK scan - could this be V/P scan - ventilation /perfusion -checking out the lung functions (and hopefully excluding a pulmonary embolus- blood clot as u mentioned in your blog earlier))
-I doubt they would have let her go if she still had chest pain !
(being part of NHS can be very demoralising sometimes)

See you can even learn new things by reading this blog every day !
