Cardioligist Dr Amiry did the Angiogram and then had a consult from Dr Katz a Cardiac Surgeon.  Dr Amiry told my girlfriend that I should have had surgery 2 years ago.  Despite my situation being constantly monitored by my Dr, Nader Aziz and no need for surgery.  Dr Katz told me "if you do not have surgery soon, your life expectancy will be greatly reduced & I can do surgery next Wednesday ".  I subsequently followed up with two leading doctors ( Cardiologist & Cardiac Aurgeon) at Northwestern who said I did not need immediate surgery & to follow-up in 6 months to repeat testing.  It is my opinion that my condition was purposely overblown and the surgeon wanted to play on my fears to get a quick, big payday surgery.  I will never, ever go to another Advocate Hospital unless I am visiting someone & tell them to go elsewhere.  If you wish to talk further, please contact me.
