About Me (In My Own Words)
I had a repair on my mitral valve 6 years ago and about a year ago I was diagnosed with a slight leak again I was referred to another cardiologist to since there's so many different cardiologists and they specialize in different things but at the same Hospital to follow up on what was going on so this cardiologist put a camera down my throat said yes your valve is leaking again and she wanted to keep tabs on it make sure it didn't leak too much again so she was referred to me by the surgeon who did my surgery Dr Murphy is incredible Dr Douglas Murphy the most incredible heart surgeon in every way but anyway so I live in a city that takes me about 45 minutes to an hour one way to see this woman and my car has gotten older I don't want to drive all that way so she suggested I get an echocardiogram at a hospital near where I live which I did they sent her the results we did this video communication thing over my phone after she received the results and it's now saying she said that the results showed that my mitral valve was not leaking which she knows it is so that made her angry she said that maybe I should find another cardiologist closer to where I live since I didn't want to drive all the way over there but she needed to see me in person well that didn't make sense to me she's the one who suggested the weight we communicated in the setup so now I'm looking for another cardiologist I'm very frustrated about it and I want to know more about leaky mitral valves after you've had it repaired I don't know what to do now I'm kind of like lost
