> Why so? You were lucky! You had a low probability for the diagnosis, but the doc made the right decision. That's to be celebrated
cause they still said “can’t”

If this doc meant it in the literal sense of 'can't', why go through with the workup, then? This is IMO evidence that the doc meant 'very unlikely, but let's check'. I agree words are important, but still the right decision was made and that's cool.

I think the issue is "can't" is present tense, and the conclusion _after_ treating. In otherwords, they still think it isn't a heart attack.
