Interview Playback: The Alliance For Aging and I Talk About Heart Valve Surgery

January 29th, 2010

This is pretty neat…

One day, out of nowhere, I received a call from Lindsay Clark, Director of Health Programs, of the Alliance for Aging Research. If you didn’t know, the Alliance for Aging Research is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and accelerating medical discoveries.

It turns out that Lindsay’s team is currently working on some unique initiatives specific to heart valves – specifically aortic stenosis. As a result, Lindsay asked me if I would consider doing an interview to help educate patients and caregivers. I said, “Sounds great!”

If you have any interest in listening to the 15 minute interview, simply press the gray, play button below. Also, the interview was done by telephone, so you may have to turn up the sound on your computer.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO BANDWIDTH LIMITATIONS ON MY SERVER, THIS INTERVIEW IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I WILL ATTEMPT TO REPOST THE INTERVIEW IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

Keep on tickin!

Hello Adam,

I bought the online version of your book some time ago (in ’08 or ’09, I believe). I searched for it in my computer in order to refer to it, but haven’t succeeded in finding it. Do you have a suggestion for accessing it? I can dig up the credit card statement showing the purchase, if necessary. However if my name is in your database of purchasers, perhaps that would suffice?

Thanks,
James Stevens

Hi Adam and Everyone,
The interview was terrific Adam very clear and informative.
I’ve been a regular reader for about 8 months and my big day for a Mitral Valve repair (fingers crossed) or replacement with Dr. Robert Larbalestier is next Tuesday February 2nd at the Mount Hospital in Perth Western Australia. I want to thank everyone who has contributed comments and practical information in addition to Adam’s book. Due to all you fabulous people I am ready for my journey to health. Bless you all Eleanor
