Part of the problem

ME: Patient's chest pain consists of GERD and menopause. I would like to discharge them home.
ATTENDING: I want to admit them and get a cardiology consult.
ME: ok....

CARDIOLOGY CONSULT NOTE:
Plan:
1. Treat GERD
2. Discharge home

ME: Cardiology says treat their GERD and discharge them home
ATTENDING: Let's get a stress test
ME: GAHHHHHH [HEAD ASPLODE]
