9:02 am
move the steak over to the other side of the grill. fire up that grill on high to burn off anything, and then you can get the initial sear. then drop the temperature. remember, low and slow. second, don't prod or poke your meat. don't turn it over too much. just leave it alone. you don't need to push on your burger or chicken. that will result in something resembling jerky instead of delicious food. ideally, you just to flip or rotate it once. and finally season those burgers before putting them on the grill, but never put sauce or never put sauce on your meat first. in other words, don't burn the sauce on the meat. add it at the very end. once the meat comes off the grill, we want some viewer reaction. this morning we're asking what are your memorial day plans? your option? doing something local, chilling with family and friends, relaxing at home? just scan that qr code at the top right of your screen or go to ktvu.com/vote. you can also hit us up on our website. welcome to the nine gasia and i are pretty similar. we like to stay home a lot.

and think, how can i prevent potential disaster? what were you looking for? what did you see in your dad that made you think, okay, something's going on? >> really great question. so grandpa, he's the grandpa of many grandbabies and kids and he's actually very active gardening every day, walking and such, and probably more healthy than you would think. the average 79 year old would be. and so he was actually having, i think it was lunch with some of his college friends and had noticed that many of them had heart issues and he hadn't had any. okay he had come home. and why don't you tell him the story about walking up to check your mail? >> i, i spend a lot of many days in rita's house from my house walk down to the mailbox and it's like a slope very maybe 50, 60ft. and the last few months i when i walk through the slope, i feel something uneasy on my breathing. so it must be something goes wrong. okay? that's why. and i heard from my friend and most of them had a heart issue. so i better talk to rita and get it checked out.
9:38 am
>> better go see the doctor. i mean, as i'm looking at your father here, he's he's he's you know, he's he's active. he's trim. i don't think heart disease. what misconceptions do we need to get over to help prevent other people from falling ill? >> i think the classic symptoms of coronary artery disease is when somebody has crushing, left sided chest pain. now some of the things that grandpa was talking about was that as he was walking and exerting himself, he was starting to have symptoms and that was something different for him. and so in those instances, seek help. and so one of the things i'm very glad he did was he actually talked to me and said, gosh, this is not similar to what i've always been feeling. i've always been able to walk and exercise. and that triggered alarms in my head. and so with that, we actually consulted his primary care physician, who was able to have him see his cardiologist and was able to get what we call a cardiac ct scan, which is some new technology that we have that takes a picture of your blood vessels from the outside of your heart. that showed some very concerning blockages. >> i see, i see, and so i imagine this is something you
9:39 am
know well, not great. it's better caught early. absolutely. >> and i think a lot of people, particularly in the aapi community, don't necessarily seek help. and it's for a lot of reasons culturally, sometimes we want to not tell anybody not to bother anybody. >> i don't want to burden my daughter. >> she has enough going on and i'm so glad he did otherwise we wouldn't have known and been able to catch this and bring him to get a cardiac catheterization with doctor lee at kaiser permanente, where we were able to put three stents in. and now he's as good as new good. other times it's a translation issue. people are worried that when they come into the doctor, nobody is going to be able to speak my language or understand. at our hospitals and clinics. at kaiser, we actually have translators ready and at the will to be able to help translate in a multitude of languages, to be able to seek help. >> can i run something by you that i've heard not just from my parents, but other people who are aging? you know, i've heard i'm just getting older. things don't work like they used to and part of that i understand. but how do we know where that line is between we're just aging and oh, there's a real problem brewing. >> yeah. you know, i've really
9:40 am
so happy that you're asking that question. and that's actually exactly grandpa's situation that he was in. really healthy wasn't on any medications. what are the key things that you should know is actually always know your body and never be afraid to ask for help. i tell everybody that yes, we are all aging and how do we continue to live healthy lives? and that's really knowing your numbers. know your blood pressure, know your weight, know the symptoms, be able to go out there and stay active and live a healthy life. and if something is off, you're not breathing right. you're starting to experience chest pain. you're starting to get swelling in your body. that should trigger alarms in your body and mind to say, gosh, i should speak to my physician and see what's going on. it may be absolutely normal. we all wake up with with littles and pains and pains and that's just normal, right? and you should be seeing your primary care doctor once a year to get your routine checkup. it's just good practice for all of us, mr. ng, can i ask you, what do you do now, activity wise, that brings you the most meaning in your day? >> is it running around after
9:41 am
the grandchildren? is it seeing your friends? what do you like to do? >> see friends? yeah, exactly like what you said. and i, since the surgery, i done a lot more walking, more exercise. good, good. and watch my diet a little bit more careful. >> yeah, we should all be so fortunate to have children like yours. >> yeah, we're very lucky he was home. the cardiac catheterization procedure. he was home within four hours. no way. yes, the procedure takes about an hour or two. oh. that's great. and we monitor them in the hospital throughout the for a couple hours afterwards. and you get to come home that night. so in the evening, he was already home with the grandbabies. so don't be afraid to seek care and get the care that you need. >> good. there's expert medical help out there just for the asking. i'm so glad you're doing well, mr. ng oh, thank you. and thank you so much for joining us, doctor ng we will be right back here on the nine. we'll also mention that in oakland there are some changes at the main library. the big building there on 14th has been closed and it's going to be closed for a few months at least. we'll take a look at some of the
