Amen, Brother!
3X bypass 2003, 3 stents 2010 for me.
BTW, you do know that ischemic heart disease is now considered Agent Orange related, don’t you?
“Good Night, Chesty, wherever you are!”
Once the Food Stamp President and his administration of death get those death panels up and running we will really start to see the number of medical procedures that miraculously become no longer effective or cost efficient. Sort of like “Death Lotto” where the death panels pick random medical procedures to do away with ....
You know, it just depends, and you can’t always know for certain. This doesn’t seems to be talking about people who clearly need the stent. My father in law had one put in and died because the stent failed. It’s hard to know if he wouldn’t have been better off without the stent, but it appears he would have been.
BTW I’m glad yours is working so well for you. With our experience, if a family member told me they were having one put in now, I would be terrified.
