Thank God for pvt health care
My 92 yr old dad had angioplasty this morn so I went to see him
afterwards. Mom and several sisters described what took place. He had two arteries 98% clogged. I have for years wished they could remove the stuff clogging the arteries in addition to using the stent. My mom and sibs told me that they actually did this. I was surprised and said I thought this could not be done due to the danger of the "debris" causing a stroke. Apparently, the device whirls at very high rpm and cuts it into such tiny pieces it causes no problem. Doc said this could not be done 5 yrs ago. So, my 92 yr old dad now has a heart that is prob better than mine. WOW. Govt run health care would have no incentive to develop such a thing in 5 yrs. My dad has pvt health ins, VA and medicare with his pvt care paying most of it. Govt health care would simply say, "92 yrs old, no reason to do much" but his mind is in perfect shape and I expect he'll have 10 more years. |
