After Valve Surgery, Robin Williams Talks About Second Chances, Emotions & More (Video)

August 22nd, 2009

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.

If you are interested, here are some additional blogs related to this topic:

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
