He can’t locate his passport and doesn’t have a driving license.He has had no money for a long time.Isn’t there any interim mayment he can have? Whathelp can he get?
What happens when someone is no longer a candidate for heart surgery?
My father had a double bypass five years ago. He just had another heart attack and was told due to complications of undiagnosed diabetes, that he is no longer a candidate for surgery. Only one of his arteries are working, he now has to take medication to keep his blood pressure high enough to work his heart, and apparently the top part of his heart is not working. He seems fine, but they tell us this is very serious. It seems basically like he is definitly going to die, but noone seems to want to say that (the nurses and doctors). If he is going to, is it soon, or could he go on for years? I’ve never known anyone who has had a relative who couldn’t be fixed with a stent or bypass. Help.
How long does heart surgery take to complete?
I’m writing a screenplay and I want to make it as believeable as possible, so if you know the answer, please share.
Here’s the situation:
The character was vacationing in California, had a heart attack and had to get heart bypass surgery. How long would it take for the character to have the surgery and recover. And how long would he have to be in the hospital for.
Thanks guys!
