The doctors performed open heart surgery right then and there he is still living Danny Padilla survived a heart attack Mike Martarazzo 39 2004 clogged arteries caused by steroid use(2007 heart attack triple bypass heart surgery)
If you're having Chest pains etc you can present to any Pubic Hospital and they are required to assess you as it could be a life threatening condition.
When I was having Chest pains I didn't believe my Doctor that all was OK so the next time it happened I presented to a Pubic Hospital and they also assessed me, ECG etc (or whatever the fook its called).
Just don't front up to a Hospital with a Torsion of the Testicle. If you do there'll be a line of Doctors 20 deep queuing up to have a look/giggle at it and ask you suspicious questions as to how it happened!
