"A stress test is where they make your heart work very, very hard while they examine it; I was put in a kind of exercise/torture device and told to start peddling as hard as I could, while electrodes all over my naked chest were recording the electrical activity, and the doctor made sonograms of my heart, which I could watch as I worked up a good sweat. And it was reassuring: my heart was strong, unscarred, beating well, with no irregularities. I made it through the whole test and did well. Then it was over, and I got out of the device, and that's when the trouble began."
Well worth the read.
