ALWAYS get a second opinion. And get a copy of your medical records if you can. This secret 'we can only send them to other doctors' is bullsqueeze.
Thanks very much for putting this out here, dearest Black Agnes.
This is outrageous. Your Daddy has never smoked in his entire life!
Like I told you in FR mail: Get a lawyer.
Your Daddy and your family have my prayers.
Ping.
To make it better, the cardiologist in the clinical trial Jackson Heart was sending him to...got his MD at American University of the Caribbean.
He was gonna be a lab rat.
For no good reason. Other than he’s older, white and supposedly a smoker...
Prayers up for your dear Dad.
I’m used to seeing you on the Gardening Threads, but please be assured of my prayers for your Dad, and family.
Thank you so much!
I’m just so mad I don’t know what to do.
Waiting the past 18m has doubled his mortality risk. For no good reason than his medical record wrongly noted he’d smoked for 60 years.
Thank you so much. I need to ping greeneyes too.
We will remember your father in our prayers. They will do the best for him in Houston, but as always, he is in the Lord’s care.
We are proud of our Houston medical centers for the good work they do in so many areas. MD Anderson, the famed cancer center, is so open about patient information that each patient has a private web page with private password access. All lab results, pathology reports, radiology reports and doctor’s interview notes are posted for the patient to read and copy. That is the mark of true professionals.
Ping.
That is nsaty indeed. Even when things like this happens it’s all in God’s hands. Enjoys every minute with your Dad. Take it from someone who lost theirs to a sudden heart attack in 1995 and never had a chance to say goodbye or I love you one last time. BTW he was the best gardener I ever knew, could make anything grow.
Prayers up for your daddy, the family and all us older folks who will, ourselves, be PREMATURELY death paneled at some point.
THIS JUST IN:

Chicago, Illinois
Marian Shields Robinson, mother of former First Lady, Michelle Robinson Obama, died yesterday. In otherwise excellent health, fully ambulatory and in possession of all her mental faculties, an autopsy determined that the cause of death was a relatively simple to repair coronary artery blockage. She was 80 years old.
Unfortunately, under the 2011 Universal Health Care Act, passed in 2011 (the last year of the truncated Obama Administration), the surgery necessary to clear the fatal blockage is prohibited on patients over 60 years of age.
The impeached Barack Obama could not be reached for comment. On death row at the Colorado Super-Max prison, he is awaiting execution for treason against the Constitution and the people of the United States and crimes against humanity.
The Republican breakaway New Freedom Party, which began winning congressional seats in the 2010 election and completed its sweep of conventional Republicans and Democrats from office in the 2016 election, has pledged to eliminate what President Palin called these unfortunate and unnecessary deaths of our older citizens who have, after all, done much to build this nation. She went on to say Of course, we all die. But this foolishly enacted legislation is consigning countless millions of otherwise healthy, capable, often wisdom-laden and loved parents and grandparents to early graves for simply corrected problems. Its just morally wrong.
Senate Majority Leader Rand Paul (NFP, KY) has pledged to revisit the Universal Health Care Act as soon as he and his colleagues on Capitol Hill complete the pending treason trials of 58 former Obama officials now taking up the bulk of their time.
When reached by phone for comment, former First Lady Michelle Obama, muttered a few unprintable scatological and profane terms and something about no longer being proud of this crappy country not that I ever was. Rambling almost incoherently, she blurted That healthcare reform bill contained specific exemptions for government officials but that idiot Pelosi failed to include language covering our living ancestors and, because nobody read the damn thing, we never caught it, before hanging up.
Arrangements are pending but those close to the family have hinted that Mrs. Robinson will be taken to Kenya for burial. Mrs. Obama has declared that she and her daughters will remain in Kenya — eventually found to be the actual birthplace of the disgraced former usurper president — and never return to the United States.

ROFLMAO!!!!!! RIGHT LIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THESE JERKS!
oope! nsaty = nasty
I was not comfortable with his first cardiology practice’s ‘we don’t let patients have their medical records, we send them to other doctors’ bit. Not comfortable at all.
He’s with the best in Houston, no doubt. He’s in the Cooley medical group. If we’d only known 18m ago to look for someone else. His original cardiologist didn’t seem at all concerned by his aortic stenosis. ‘We’ll just watch and wait’...
Augh.
My dad really liked Dr. Fish though. And once he found out daddy’d never smoked he changed the medical records right then.
Prayers up, and get a better lawyer than the doctor
What a nightmare!
Prayers up.
Oh, we do. My kids adore my father. We visit as much as is humanly possible. They’re only about an hour away. And my dad’s an excellent gardener too. He’s always got a big garden and he loves planting trees.
The problem is, how do you know there are discrepancies in there? If you’re not allowed to look. I guess get an internist or gp you trust and just sit down and go over the whole entire thing.
Thank you!
Nightmare is right.
Prayers up for your Dad
God Bless..
