Confessions of a Former Heart Surgeon
I’ve been an M.D. for over 30 years — 7 of them as a heart surgeon. I started out naively, and quickly became successful. Like most surgeons, all I did was prescribe drugs, operate and sleep.
Most mornings I sawed open chests, hooked my patients up to life support machines, stopped their hearts, grafted arteries, re-started their hearts, sewed them up, and sent them home.
Or so I thought. After awhile, I began to realize most of my patients were getting worse ... some needlessly dying of heart disease.
