- Why do you call heart-bypass surgery a fraud? Certainly, you do
- not mean to include ALL cases.
-
- I can tell you that my Dad had a heart attack five years ago
- and a second (much worse than the first) a year ago and if
- it were not for his bypass operation and the wonderful nurses
- and staff at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, he would
- not be alive today.
-
- But having said that, I do think that in the best of all possible worlds,
- the need for bypass surgery would be lessened. If only Americans would
- eat right and exercise more, we would all be better off for it.
