heart surgeons or heartless surgeons?
Mrs SS had rheumatic heart disease. she was asked to go for an operation as her valves were failing to respond well and she had symptoms like dyspnoea on small exertion means breath shortness.
.She also had pulmonary hypertension too. She was not responding to allopathy medical treatment. We started her medicines related to rheumatism and heart. soon after few months when she underwent another 2D Echo doctor told her not to go for surgery as it was not necessary. reports were much better and her breathing absolutely fine. for some years now she is all well
Mrs PB 81 had been hospitalized for chest pain and severe weakness and breathing problem.
Reports after angeography said
85,80,70,95% blockage in heart supplying arteries. Ventricle ejection function 45 % |
He had pain and palpitation uneasiness 6 months back for which he approached a cardiologist who after an ECG which showed some changes & asked him to go for angiography [straight away?] which showed some blockage in arteries supplying heart muscles.
The doctor asked him to follow him to his consulting room where he held a meeting with him and was trying to pursue him for angioplasty in the mean while a nurse hurriedly rushed into the cabin saying some other patient who underwent the cardiac surgery just before an hour or so was in trouble. The doctor got annoyed with her and shooed her away saying that she did not know the importance of this meeting and was manner less!!!!
My patient was strong enough to reject his proposal which added fuel to the doctor's anger. He threw away his file and CD saying something like go to hell and he was not responsible for any disaster!
Why did not he attend the imergancy patient?....he had got the package money
Why was he so annoyed at the decision by my patient?....he lost another one.
The patient then went to some other cardiologist who told it was not 80% but just 50% blockage in the artery. And medicines are sufficient for this.
Patient is quite stable on my medicines till date for last 5 months and it has been proven otherwise by suspending my medicines for some period!
It all seems like we are living in desert of humanity.
