Dick Cheney's Heart Surgery A Success - Really???? - GoFuckYourself.com

I hope that Dick Cheney's heart keeps pumping for many years to come.

According to this doctor an LVAD(Left Ventricular Assist Device) has a major associated morbidity and mortality and lots of suffering.

I'm a surgeon and just read your wire story about Dick Cheney getting a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) placed. The story downplays the seriousness of that procedures...once you've got an LVAD in place, it means your heart is essentially incapable of working on its own and has no potential to improve. While LVAD outcomes have been improving, and some patients live months or even years with one of these devices in place, this is a HUGE operation with MAJOR associated morbidity and mortality. If he's not listed for a heart transplant, his days are seriously numbered. Life on an LVAD isn't something I'd wish on my worst enemy...an axiom that this situation really tests. He's in for a rough time.
========================

Let's wish Cheney the best and let him live for an extremely long time.

He is a great man. I wish him and his family the best.

I also read this procedure is usually a bridge to get you through while you wait for a transplant.

He's had a heart problem for most of his life

He would NEVER qualify for a transplant. This is the last thing they could do to keep him alive for a bit longer.

He sure knows how to make an expression on his face with his eyes and mouth.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
