I've been to the hospital for a checkover. All's well. I did a Bruce exercise test ~ 8mins 31secs. I was hoping for longer seeing as I manged just under 6 mins before the op. Still the doctor seemed happy enough.

I can manage 25 seconds  sad24:

That's what I managed the last time they tried it. The doctor called a halt to it against the technician's wishes. "I've seen enough" was what the cardiologist said as he peered at the BP etc.

I would have managed a bit longer on the flat, at a slower speed, but the techy in charge was in a strop because the Cardiologist had come in with me ~ she was used to working alone ~ so she started me on a slope. Buggered me completely

Surely the test always starts with a grade (10%) then gets steeper (and faster) every 3mins.  rubschin:

At the Heart Hospital there has to be two people present (apart from the test subject of course) just in case like.

Usually I have been accompanied by a nurse and a technician. This time I was an inpatient and wheeled down by a porter with a "sparkling" line in conversation, a Cardiology Rehab Nurse and the Cardio Consultant. They hooked me up to all sorts of stuff including an ECG (Cue another person in the room to operate that). By now I was not happy and the Technician/Physio due to operate the treadmill was well pissed off.
I have previously always started on the flat and they normally warned me when they were going to increase speed or incline. On this occasion she did neither but started me walking on an incline of whatever (I have no idea what) She got further annoyed when the cardiolgist asked the nurse to take BP before the start whilst he personally attached the 12 ECG leads. The Techy person was huffing in the background. When the Doc finally said she could start the machine went off, I started jogging to keep up and the Doc said "That's enough" Techy said "But we've only just started" and the Doc said "I've seen all I need, turn it off". She turned it off with a loud sigh. Doc removed all leads etc and helped me into a wheelchair. Told the rehab Nurse and Porter to take me back to the ward, told the other nurse to check my BP once I was back on the bed and that he would be up in a couple of minutes. As they wheeled me out he turned to the Techy and the last I heard was launching into a "Don't you EVER contradict me in front of a patient ..............................."
When he got to the ward he told me that he wanted to do an immediate angioplasty and if it was OK by me he'd do it that same evening.
