How do I know if a referred heart specialist will support me after surgery?

You don’t want a surgeon who just cuts and runs. Likewise, your cardiologist should be your genuine ally. Ask someone who is already a heart patient or a heart attack survivor how well the doctor supported him or her after surgery and over time.

His answer will go a long way in helping you to set your expectations for quality care and open communication with this particular doctor. Press gently for more details, including how well the doctor handled unexpected complications or advised about lifestyle changes or new treatments. Look for a partner, not just a doctor.

Kathy Berra, MNS, a clinical director at Stanford University’s Heart Network, says, “Doctors who have nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other professionals like dietitians working for them are the physicians who really recognize that it does take a village to take care of heart disease.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
