Excerpt

We completed Mr. W’s dipyridamole infusion and stepped out of the PET scanner room. Suddenly, the baseline of his ECG tracing was swaying, his was bradycardic and his pulse was barely palpable; he was not responding to verbal commands. My mind was racing to understand his extreme hemodynamic response. The fact that he was a research volunteer muddled my emotional reaction to this event. Fortunately, he responded promptly to IV atropine and fluids and after a few hours of observation we felt comfortable sending him home. …
