It didn't mean nothing to the receptionist or the TV hospital what I was told about what my heart Dr. said. Not going to get into a long story but TV hospital to me isn't a place where you want to go. found out TV hospital can't treat heart issues, they can only stabilize you & send you on to another. You would think with 100,000 + elderly people they would be equipped to do these kind of things since that's one of the things that happen to people when they get older. Guess if TV hospital was as great as some people think the state medical board would make TV hospital one of the best in Florida!

Then something must have changed. All of my husband's heart issues have been successfully treated through TVRH. He has received numerous stents, coded once after being admitted for elevating troponin levels (troponin is one of the indicators in heart issues). It took them 10 minutes to stabilize him enough to get him into the cath lab, where he received 2 more stents. Thanks to TVRH and their ER, he has survived 2 heart attacks with great outcomes.

I had a stent placed in September there. Maybe they just don't deal in open-heart surgeries?
