Scared

[iw51]

Hi all after my angiogram last week being told at least triple bypass and aorta repair replace so been told Docs having a virtual gathering of all the cases on Friday so might get info from that on date and getting very scared trying to be positive but !😩

You've been through the wars these past several weeks - I'd be in a right state myself going through what you've been through and have to 'look forward' to. Have you considered talking to the BHF cardiac nurses on the helpline? Sometimes it's easier to talk to an 'informed stranger' than trying to talk to the cardiac nurse on the team you've got working on your case:

Hi IW

I went through your same situation four years ago. I decided to write a blog about my whole journey, warts and all. If it helps feel free to browse philsquadruplebypass.wordpr...

Hope it helps and good luck

The one thing to remember is that this is the day job for cardiac surgeons and they probably do 4 - 6 a week with the rest of the time taken up by outpatients, ward rounds, reviewing cases, etc. Try not to worry but as others have said if it becomes a problem support is available.

A virtual gathering of doctors? Are they looking for signs of artificial intelligence?
