I just got back from having my 6-month Echo. I will get the results on Friday, when I see the doctor.

The tech was a nice guy....50ish, body builder type, talkative & very friendly! :thumbup:

He sounded a bit bemused when conducting the Echo and said that I had certainly made his day & possibly his week because my Echo was far from being ordinary! I said, "well perhaps that because I have a 35-year old mitral and a newer St. Jude aortic valve." :biggrin2: He agreed and said that I still had pretty good heart function which really perked up my spirits!

So all and all, it sounded good but I won't know the full scoop until Friday. Will keep you posted! :)
 
Having a talkative, friendly tech guy would be a good start to anyone's week ;) LOL

Will be thinking about you come Friday - Best wishes
 
Norma, Well, it sounds like a positive start! Fingers crossed for more positive news on Friday. Can't wait to hear.

Thanks all but it seems I won't know the results of my Echo until Nov. 22nd. My new cardio's office called & said they had to push back my appt from this Friday to the 22nd, AND, I will be seen by my cardio's new partner, not him!!! :mad2:

Apparently, my doctor is backlogged until JUNE mind you, so this new cardio, will be helping him with his patients!

I already did a background check on the new guy & he hails from Eau Claire, WI. Record seems to be clean....no judgements against him but no rating on him!

Wonder if he's a snow bird.........:confused2:

Do not give much importance to the rating, dear Norma. They are not always honest and the ratings sometimes maybe done by relatives. Since I moved to our new area, I checked the ratings before I saw a new doctor. One who had not ratings was great; and another doctor who had a few excellent ratings was not good!!
