I appreciate that Jaysay.
Women have a pain and they take a couple of paracetamols....when in actual fact they should be connected up to a heart monitor.

I am sure that the British Heart foundation do have leaflets aimed at women, but I reckon it will take a campaign like the one where the chap was having his chest crushed by a leather belt.......those symptoms relate to men.

The other thing is that many of the medications to treat heart problems have only been tested on men....so it maybe that the treatment that women get is not appropriate either.
