As a 19 year vet in health care, I am extremely curious what happened, but I would understand why someone would not want to share what happened.

I am sorry for your outcome.

I have a bunch of questions that I would ask of you as a patient and from me as a provider.

Sometimes under extreme situations, a patient doesn't hear all the risk involved in procedures.

Since you went into a cath lab, you had most likely 3 choices.

1. Do nothing and possibly die or at the very least, have a guaranteed negative outcome.

2. Get open heart surgery.

3. Get cath'd and a stent or 5 and some angioplasty.

As far as the B and C team due to it being a holiday...that is generally false, call schedules are rotated, so it being a holiday doesn't really have as much influence as you think...

That being said, there are definitely Doctors that I would never let touch me.

Anyway, rehab aggressively and stay positive.
