A dear friend of mine - 61 years old, enjoying life, still actively employed - found out in late February he had 3 cardiac arteries blocked. One was 85% blocked, one was 75% blocked, and one was 70% blocked. He immediately went in for stent placement, feeling blessed to have identified the blockages before they caused a heart attack. They were able to place 2 stents but because his creatinine became too elevated during surgery (from the dye), they needed to reschedule the 3rd stent placement the following week. In the meantime, coronavirus and no "elective" surgeries so he had to wait. Hospitals in his area are all but empty. He had a massive heart attack last night and died. This farce has got to stop!
