I had a heart attack at Soggy Dollar on Jost in 2013. It was my second cardiac event as I had received a stent in 2011. I had done so well after the stent that I had been taken off blood thinners except for an 81 mg aspirin daily at that time. Anyway, I was treated by the nurse on JVD, a guy named Derek Sweeney. I was transported to Soper’s Hole via lobster boat by Rudy from Rudy’s Market and taken to Peeples Hospital via ambulance. The care I received was always excellent but the facilities were not. Eventually I had to charter a plane to St Thomas where I also received excellent care and a catheterization was done. Dr Roy Flood was the cardiac specialist that treated me in St Thomas. By the time the catheterization was done whatever blockage that caused the problem had disappeared, probably due to the injectable blood thinners (Lovenox) I was given in the BVI. Anyway I’m alive and well and will always be grateful to Derek, Rudy, and the medical professionals I encountered during this unfortunate incident.
