    I get heart catheterizations at my yearly check ups for my heart transplant. Reading this made me feel sick. I’m so glad I go to a very well renown hospital for it.

      My 27 year old fiance just had to have a heart ablation and reading this nearly brought me to tears thinking about what could have happened.

      Yes, I’m guessing that part of it is that Chillicothe is in the middle of nowhere (I went to a trade school there).
