Update on Vanessa: We went to the cardiologist, who said 1) he doesn't want to do any tests on her (though he later did an echo and ekg) 2) he said no doctor would do a valve replacement on her heart (which she was told she will soon need, by another dr, 3 years ago), and 3) blames it all on her weight, even though she's had this heart condition since birth.
We're going to demand a second opinion. The dr, btw, is a foreigner, either Indian or Pakistani. Wonder if we can demand an American doctor? Sorry to sound racist peeps, I mean I have nothing against Indians (2 of my nephews are Indian), but it's been my experience that most doctors from that region have the wrong attitude towards things, especially how they treat American patients. Telling us that no doctor will do the surgery, tells me that's he's given her a death sentence. I refuse to accept that!
