The Cardiologist Doctor and Traditional Remedies

The Obama healthcare legislation will never be meaningful mostly because of the Cardiologist Doctor and their traditional remedies belief. This one small group of medical providers known as “interventional cardiologists” (IVC’s) and their occulting plaque theory is one big cause of what will be the complete failure of the healthcare legislation.

The cardiologist doctor is kept busy by passing, stenting and smashing plaque and clots that occlude coronary arteries that carry blood to the heart. This procedure eventually becomes a complete failure because it never really solves the real problem.

Many Heart Operation Procedures

When plaque and clogs impair the coronary circulation, the results can be angina, heart attack, stroke or even death. The sad truth is these patients going through this procedure fare no better than patients who had sham surgery, where nothing at all was done. Complete failure of this procedure will continue to be a good reason to either reform the healthcare legislation or start over again with new legislation.

Back in the 1950’s it seemed pretty obvious that to get around to the process of occluding plaque as good, so several ingenious surgical techniques were invented and tested against sham surgeries (where nothing was done.)
These become part of the traditional remedies that the cardiological doctor started to use.

The First Heart Operation Procedure

One of the first idea was called “pericardial poundage”, which was wrapping the heart in a sack. Then a powder in the sack was to feed the heart, providing nutrition and oxygenation. This did not work. After this procedure didn’t work and was a complete failure the cardiologist doctor moved on to ligating (tying off) the clogged artery in hopes of increasing collateral circulation via the other vessels.

Fixing clogged arteries was still the goal of establishing the traditional remedies theory as the right way to go. But since removing the clot was too dangerous, the ingenious coronary artery bypass graft, what you know as a heart “bypass” was invented. Healthcare legislation will never be written the right way because of the influence of the medical society and Big Pharma. Even after ten years of study, the results of the “bypass” procedure is still not good.

The Cardiologist doctors will never believe this procedure has really been a complete failure. These patients did not live any longer than those who received standard medical care. Many did not even survive the procedures. Half the patients had a rough recovery over a year or more, with many becoming cardiac invalids. A significant group suffered memory loss at one year after surgery, and still more suffered memory loss after five years.

Heart Operations Are Still Complete Failures

Why does a cardiologist doctor continue with these traditional remedies forever and ever? Would you think a considerable profit margin might be the answer? Since only about 20% to 30% of all patients who received a “bypass” got some benefit it wasn’t considered a complete failure by them.

However a new technique was soon developed called “angioplasty” This technique using a balloon that is attached to a catheter is fed into the offending clogged area of the artery and then blown up. It smashes the plaque and opens the artery. It was less dangerous than other traditional remedies but no more effective than the heart bypass procedure.

Still determined to stick with their “occluding plaque theory”, stents were soon developed. The cardiologist doctor would use wire tubes inserted into the area where the clog had been smashed by angioplasty. It was believed that stents would stop the artery from reclogging. They really didn’t work and the stented arteries clogged up as quickly as those without stents.

Healthcare Legislation Isn't Solving Health Crisis

So here we are after passing healthcare legislation that the nation's health problems are still not solved. Procedures to cure heart patients still don’t solve the problem. The cardiologist doctor gets richer and the poor heart patient gets sicker. The traditional medical doctor continues to use procedures that eventually become complete failures but people still visit them anyway.
