Rapid Recovery Protocol 2.0 for Heart Surgery Patients

Written By: Adam Pick, Patient Advocate, Author & Website Founder
Published: June 26, 2023

New medical advances are transforming the patient recovery from heart surgery. As a result, patients are experiencing less-to-no pain, staying in the hospital shorter, and getting back to normal activity faster.

To learn about the latest innovations in patient recovery, we interviewed Dr. Marc Gerdisch, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Franciscan Health in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dr. Gerdisch has performed over 6,000 cardiac procedures and successfully treated over 100 patients from our community. Click here to see my interview with Dr. Gerdisch about the Rapid Recovery Protocol 2.0.

Many thanks to Dr. Gerdisch for educating our patient community about Rapid Recovery Protocol 2.0!

Keep on tickin!
