Bill Rosenzweig

Bill had a heart attack. He needed heart catheterization and a stent. The Rabbi gave me this long lecture one morning that Bill was not at death's door and that heart catheterization was not such a big deal. Well, Bill needed a triple bypass and has had it since and has had a second heart attack in the hospital two days ago. He came close to being at death's door.
Conclusion. Every procedure has its risk. Even small ones.
Years ago a different Rabbi liked to talk from the bima about medical conditions. He always got it wrong and my  husband finally told me to tell him to stop it. Husband was a physician's physician.
