Aortic valve replacement.

Story from nhs.uk

"Aortic valve replacement."

About: The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre

Anything else?

I don't know if this is allowed, but I'm writing this on behalf of my friend Phil Buy. He doesn't own a computer and doesn't have Internet. I have checked with him and he's happy for his name to appear on the website.

He would like to express his sincere thanks to all of those involved in his treatment. He had his aortic valve replaced seven weeks ago and today he had his check up and all is well. He feels like a new man and told me it's a joy to be able to walk more than fifty yards without feeling any pain. In fact he he is currently walking one and a half miles at a time with no discomfort whatsoever.

As an outsider looking in, I have been very impressed with his treatment and his recovery rate. Should I ever be in a similar position, I would certainly find things less daunting.

Many thanks

Neil Cocks
