Congestive heart failure is not treated surgically.

Bill Bennett said this morning that the Clintons are never going away. I hope he stays around so Hillary doesn't get a sympathy vote in '08.

I did lose my mom to heart failure last fall. She was in treatment the previous March with other serious health problems when CHF developed. The wonderful nurses looking after her got her accepted into a new CHF clinic run by Dr.Carhart at University Hospital in Syracuse. Mom was literally dying one minute, and sitting up and eating lunch and putting on her makeup an hour later. It was incredible and felt like a miracle to us! He uses a hormone that is given intravenously once a week and this gave my mom and us 6 months extra of a very good life quality. I cannot thank Dr. Carhart and the nurses at University Hospital enough.

My grandmother died of CHF. It was the strangest thing. On Wed., my parents found her sitting on the bathroom floor too weak to get herself up. She thought she had a cold as she had some minor chest discomfort.

She went into the hospital on Thursday, did tests, and said she had a heart attack!!! By Saturday, they said she had congestive heart failure and that it was a matter of days. She died the following Monday.
