An example of a patient’s journey at 90 Sloane Street A fi t and alert 90-year-old man, well- known to his doctor, came in: “I’ve been panting when I walk for


three days,” he said. “Are you short of breath and do you


have a cough?”, the doctor replied. “No just panting, that’s all Doc.” T e patient’s oxygen satura-


tion meter reading was low at 95%. “Could this be a pulmonary embo- lism?”, thought the doctor, as he listened again to the perfectly clear air entry to the patient’s chest.


“Or could it be cardiac?” On-the-spot blood tests were


taken including D-Dimer for clot- ting and Troponin for heart attacks. T e CRP for infection was normal. T e patient went straight upstairs for an echocardiogram and an ECG. T e experienced echo technician


rang 15 minutes later: “T e right heart is dilated with


raised pulmonary pressures, and the left ventricle is normal,” she said. (T ese are typical features of a pulmonary embolism.) T e D-dimer blood test was posi-


tive for clotting, making pulmonary embolism likely. T e patient was given oxygen and heparin treatment


in the practice


before going to hospital for a more formal diagnosis. Ten days later the patient came


back smiling: “T e panting has stopped Doc.” (Case changed for confi dentiality). Many pulmonary embolisms are


curable so long as the diagnosis is not missed; if not diagnosed, they can be fatal. T rough attention to detail and compassion for helping others, the 90 Sloane Street team repeatedly strive for, and achieve, medical excellence. Please see the website for details of many other services.
