After Valve Surgery, Robin Williams Talks About Second Chances, Emotions & More (Video)
Although heart valve surgery can be a very challenging process, my research suggests that most patients look back upon their surgical experience as a transformational ticket to a “second chance” at life.
That said… Here is Robin Williams, the comedian and Oscar-award winning actor, describing his thoughts on heart valve surgery, the emotions it conjures, second chances and more.

Hi Adam,
I just read the disgusting video on United Healthcare. It sure makes me feel good to be a Canadian with good health care. I went through a 7.5 hour operation for mitral valve repair and by pass, and the total cost? $0.00. Add to this the many tests and followup checkups and I can truly appreciate the excellence of our Canadian health system.
Cheers, Tom Lamont
