In 2004 I had a triple bypass then after a fall I started to suffer from breathlessness I saw a cardiologist who said you have had a good innings, by the way I am 81 years old, that really set me back.

I think that is awful. Nobody should be saying that to you and especially not a stranger. I would make a complaint about that.

Hello :-)

You must have had your Bypass just in the last few months and maybe the fall has set you back a bit

The Cardiologist was most rude that is appalling to say to anyone and I am sorry how that must have made you feel

I also would make a complaint regarding the Cardiologists comments he made :-) x

That's a terrible comment & I'm not suprised it has set you back. I'd ask to speak to another cardiologist for advice regarding your condition & definitely complain about the 1st. So sorry you're having to go through this 😔 x

Ooh I'd have exploded at him there and then. Put in a complaint even if it only stops him being so thoughtless with anyone else.
