My friend (age 87) i getting the 'we want to help you' pressure/lecture from his Cardio (Minnesota). They've suggested that 'at his age' the outcome might be 'not good' but are still recommending the open heart valve repair.

What absolute complete *ss holes the Docs have become! They'll get paid either way and if they 'kill' him on the table ( likely) They'll just shrug and head to Maui and enjoy the vacay and the 'bonus' for knocking off the senior citizen. I could not be less impressed with these 'devils' but will keep trying. Modern 'medicine' is so outrageously f'ud up. May the system burn in hell slowly.

This book has some very interesting explanations of how medical marketing works.

Basically money is the only real driver of what doctors are prescribing or what people get brainwashed to buy.
