UPDATE: 2 years later.
My new cardiovascular surgeon did a complete aortic artery sonogram and he said that I had an aneurysm and it was at 3.9 cm with a tear in it! How can I go from “ I don’t see a torn aneurysm “ to two years later having one of 3.9 cm and torn? It was a different cardiovascular surgeon. As a result I have another meeting next month for another sonogram and then a follow up the following month after that. Why was he able to find it and the other cardiovascular surgeon said he didn’t see any. The one that said he didn’t see any was the one that was mad that I insisted that I have it checked. The one that rushed me through.
If you feel that something is not right and the doctor blows you off seek a second opinion.
Both are cardiovascular surgeons yet I get 2 different opinions. I feel that this new one is more professional and has good bedside manners. The first one who said he didn’t see any was a grouch insulted that I demanded an immediate appointment and not wait a month.
