While this hospital has amazing staff and nurses/doctors/etc that do their best- it is clear that the doctors do not work together for the benefit of the patient. My grandmother (she was only 78- so not extremely old and was in fairly good shape) went in for a heart attack- had stints put in- the female heart surgeon went on to sell the idea that she could get her bypass. The lady had no bedside manner and was honestly extremely unprofessional. I m not sure the back end what happens- but fast forward about a month later- she went in because she was having trouble breathing- potentially pneumonia. The doctor in charge determined she had had lung issues for long period of time but obviously couldn t be sure as she was in final stages. She died. I don t think they really did their best and I think the heart surgeon just needed some work and let some of her tests slip- didn t discuss any long term options- and really didn t run appropriate tests to ensure longevity (her lungs should have been checked thoroughly etc/ instead they went on with a number of blood panels) . What sucks more is my grandmother was so happy to have a female surgeon- and that lady was a total dry sock. I Don t recommend the female heart surgeon. If you have a loved one that has a timeframe for heart surgery (not vital day of emergency)- Drive to Emory, fly to any other hospital.
