Whether you are talking about cardiac care or education, the fundamental question is: How do you provide it for everyone?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a father, physician and nurse, I have a special place in my heart for children, and I know the brief window of opportunity we have to teach them simple lessons that can lead to a lifetime of good health.
Providing health care is like building a house. The task requires experts, expensive equipment and materials, and a huge amount of coordination.
I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.
In the field of health care, we are giving people access to insurance who have not had it before.
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
We want to make sure that we incentivize the health care system to be designed to provide you the best quality health care possible.
My dad, who is a heart surgeon, works with many adult patients who did not take good care of their bodies in their formative years. He is able to teach them how to break old eating and exercise habits and reshape their bodies, but not without a great deal of resistance.
The cardiac calls require medical intervention. So an ambulance for a cardiac call requires a doctor, a ward boy and medical equipment.
The bottom line is, until we're helping people to stop smoking, screening for breast cancer, giving Pap smears, giving prenatal care to pregnant women, we should not go into publicly paying for the artificial heart, which will benefit at great cost only a few people.
I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician. I think it's very upfront. I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.
