Sunday, I go to visit my folks.
My dad announces he has to undergo some type of heart procedure.
The doctor has informed my dad to make sure he has his WILL updated, and all his finances taken care of.



My dad is a nervous wreck.

It is only Wednesday.
And I have had enough of this fucking week.

I walked in to my folks house Sunday.
And I instantly knew something was wrong.
VERY WRONG.
My mom says it is basically a simple procedure, and he will be out of the hospital in 3 days.
(Mom has triple bypass last year)
My father is just a nervous wreck.
The BIG MOUTHED ASSHOLE DOCTOR tells my dad to get his WILL together and make sure his finaces are in order? What the fuck is that all about? Like the guy isnt nervous enough?

I havent done any homework on the procedure yet.
I need to get in touch with my sister, the sister with the Masters in nursing.

Best of thoughts for your Dad, and much sympathy to your poor friend.

Devasting.

Good luck to your Dad, but don't take your anguish out on the Doc. Sounds like he's a good one. If he is, my guess is he just asked your Dad if that stuff is in order. The fact is once you have assets, it should be. But, most folks neglect it for whatever reason.

Sure, it sucks that the 2 are connected and it makes a nervous person rightfully more nervous. But, would you rather the doc just ingored the very real, however remote possibility? Was he a bad doc for letting him know there's a .1% (or whatever it is) chance that something could go wrong?

Good advice, like the truth are sometimes hard to hear. Hopefully, you can help your Dad put this very well intended (And good) advice in the proper perspective.

EDIT: And I'm sure this bit about the Will and Finances were in connection to the Health Proxy which is ULTRA critical to have whenever you go into surgery. There may be something they find while he's under that they can't do anything about if they don't have a health proxy.

Empty Glass

Thoughts are with you and your friend Speedy

Hope everything goes will with your dad, although the doctor could have been less douchy about it, they have to make sure of stuff like that before any procedure. I recently got the old snippity snip and they asked if I had a living will!

Oh, trust me.
I CANT WAIT to see Mr. Doctor.

A few years back, my dad had another doctor who mis-diagnosed him for 3 years. The doctor NEVER ordered an MRI on my fathers head/neck. Therefore for 3 years the doctor NEVER saw the tumor on my fathers neck/spine. For 3 years the doctor told my father all his pain was mental. He told my dad it was just depression.

Hopefully the Doc's like House, ya know a dick, but a talented one!

Good Luck Speedy

Actually I am pretty sure this is a SIMPLE procedure. Going up through the leg, to the heart, with a camera. Check out the situation, and if need be, fix any problems. But dad is 74, and has had 2 major surgeries in the last few years. During one of the surgeries, his heart actually stopped beating, and they brought him back. (What a day that was!!!!)

Yeah I've had my share... I had a misdiagnosis across 6 doctors 2 years ... one thought I had syphilis :shock: :fp:
Turns out I had a hole in my inner ear... No syphillis
