I concur 1,000%. I watched a medical training conference session at the Cleveland Clinic with several hundred doctors and nurses in the audience. Almost none of them could identify what a dissection looked like on a CT SCAN that the speaker/thoracic surgeon put up on the screen. That ought to terrify anyone who is taking advice from a cardiologist or general practitioner regarding aortic dissection potentials. Unless that doctor has performed aortic repair surgeries, their opinion is as good as mine. Don’t take the chance. Get a referral to a thoracic surgeon.
