Is that why a Canadian official chose to have heart surgery in America?
Care available to every American citizen....yes?

How Mr. Williams came to put his heart in the hands of Joseph Lamelas, a highly skilled minimally invasive surgeon in Miami, has more to do with his high societal status. As a Premier who is also very wealthy, he was able to obtain what most Canadians can only dream of: the inside track on the best surgeon – and the money to pay for it.
He contacted fellow Memorial University graduate, Lynn McGrath, who currently serves on the board of directors at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, N.J.
“So I phoned up Lynn and said: ‘Here's my situation – My doctors here locally suggested I get a second opinion because, you know, your heart is your heart,'” he told NTV News channel from his Sarasota, Fla., condo.
“I had a good chat with him and he said ‘Look, I've got to tell you, if I was getting this done myself, there is a doctor at Mount Sinai in Miami, Dr. Joe Lamelas and my opinion is he's certainly the best in North America, one of the best in the world.'” |
