The title of this blog is dramatic, but it's true.  

In November I was diagnosed by my family doctor with some heart problems. He wrote a referral for me to undergo testing at The Heart Group at Deaconess Gateway where it was revealed that I would need open heart surgery. The video below from the 103GBF You Tube Channel features the man who did indeed have a big role in saving my life, Dr. Dominic Cefali.

Getting a annual physical exam is a smart thing to do.  That's how it all started me on the path of improving my health and my life.  I cannot thank enough Dr.Cefali and his team as well as the nurses, techs, and others at The Heart Hospital at Deaconess Gateway for superb care, before and after surgery.

Watch as we talk about where I came from and the life-altering experience that  I journeyed through.  Hopefully, this video will make you more aware of your health. With February being National Heart Month, it's a good reminder to take care of your ticker!
