re: #1205 HoosierHoops
Hey Hoops - My best friend had the same thing happen to him - fortunately while he was IN the hospital for something different - about 6’ 210, but a power lifter and Karate student. Saved his life, but his insurance company won’t pay for whatever operation and device the docs want to use on him so he walks around now, just basically “stiched up” so to speak, and he calls his insurance company (as does his cardiovascular surgeon) everyday. And yeah, the type of surgery has been done at least 1,000 times according to doc, so I wouldn’t call it experimental. But that kind of arterial “blow out” does seem to happen to “bigger guys” more than others.
Prayers going up again for him, his family and for you my friend.
