Brief History
Date: 6/22/04 at 6:48PM
It has been one month since I was diagnosed with severe mitral regurgitation, and began this trek through the healthcare system towards surgery to correct it.
Stage one: find out everything I can about this, which simply confirmed how serious it is, and that I do, indeed, need surgery, and need it fairly urgently.
Stage two: heart catheterization, which reinforced the initial diagnosis made by echocardiogram.
Stage three: recover from heart catheterization! Why is this taking so long?
Stage four: find a competent surgeon and hospital (not as easy as it looks).
