Another Call From The Hospital Today (11/14/2013).
I got another call from the hospital (about a couple of hours ago) about my Echo Test that I had done in the second half of October 2013 and someone from the Anesthesiologist Department was concerned about my heart and said something about the test said that a part of my hear wasn't bumping enough blood and another test said nothing. The person from the Anesthesiologist Department went and talked to my surgeon about it and my surgeon got back to me about the Echo Test and said that if I went and had the surgery and I would had a chance of having a heart attack during surgery. Why wasn't this brought up to my attention before my original surgery date of 10/24/2013 let alone 11/12/2013, I wold have had a heart attack on one of those two days. I'm in shock right now. My surgeon told me that I'll get a phone call on my Echo Test for next week. So at this point...my surgery date for tomorrow (11/15/2013) had been cancelled for now. Like what else is new.

It is very aggravating. I'm very thankful it was caught, but why didn't they tell me this before my original surgery date of 10/24/2013 let along when that surgery date changed to 11/12/2013, but they find this before my 11/15/2013 surgery. What gives? I could have had a heart attack during surgery, I'm ticked off about that. I need to talk to my family about this if I should take action against the hospital let alone the doctor. I hope you're right about that it'll eventually work out. I'll try to be well and enjoy this beautiful sunny day. Thank you. Hugs, Jason.
