There is nothing better than clicking my inbox and reading a patient success story from one of my readers! Thanks Bruce!<\/p>\n

Hi Adam,<\/p>\n

Just a note to give you a fast update.<\/p>\n

Prior to my mitral valve repair on the 17th of August, we did a lot of endless research – including online information from The Cleveland Clinic, a few New York Hospitals, and, we read your book and subscribed to your blog.<\/p>\n

\"Bruce
\nBruce Friedman – Heart Valve Repair Patient<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and care in my own backyard, at the Sarver Heart Center, at the University Medical Center here in Tucson. I was indeed fortunate in having Dr. Jack Copeland as my surgeon.<\/p>\n

He was able to do a mitral valve repair<\/a>. The attention and patient care during my week’s stay at the hospital was absolutely “top of the line”.\u00a0 Elsewhere, I think I may have felt like just another number, but at Sarver I had a distinct feeling of caring from everyone with whom I came in contact.<\/p>\n

As a former East Coast resident until ten years ago, I have experienced hospitals in New Jersey and New York, and I can not speak highly enough of the cardiac medical and nursing care here in Tucson.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following the surgery, I found a four-day stay in the Healthsouth Rehab Center really helped prepare me for the adjustments and transitions of my homecoming.<\/p>\n

Also, I spoke to Dr. Copeland about the Incision Shield<\/a>. He had never seen, or heard, of the product and had no objection to me trying it. I am seeing Dr. Copeland again on September 14. At that time, he wants to see the Incision Shield and hear my feedback on the product.<\/p>\n

As a 76-year old patient, I feel that I am among your older readers. I want to compliment you on your book<\/a>, which I suggest could be a “MUST” for all pre-Heart Valve Surgery patients.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your role in making this letter possible.<\/p>\n
