Mr. Gellin, you're having a very big heart attack right now. Major artery that carries oxygen to your heart is almost totally blocked.
That doesn't sound too good.
No, it's not very good. We're gonna send you up to the cath lab. A cardiologist is gonna unblock that with a balloon and leave it open with a stent.
But I'm still having a heart attack?
If everything goes as planned, it'll be like you never had a heart attack. We're gonna put a catheter in this artery right here. We're gonna shave the hair with a clipper.
Long as you stop short of a Brazilian.
It's an option we offer. Costs a little bit more. A lot of people's insurance won't cover it.
