Mr. Ontoseno had a server heart attack. His wife and two children are going to take him to a cardiologist. It will take them about an hour to reach the doctor’s clinic. It is one o’clock now and Mr. Ontoseno and his family are at the hospital. At this time tomorrow, Mr. Ontoseno will be lying in bed at the coronary care unit. Perhaps he will be sleeping soundly because by then he will have been given sedative in order to provide him with enough sleep. The nurses will have given him morphine sulphate to reduce pain.
By Friday next week he will have regained his strength. If the symptoms do not recur, he will come in about two weeks. He can go back to work. Of course, he should not work too hard.
