After my echocardiogram doctor called me to the office and didn't tell me about the results. He only asked me plainly. Do you want an agioplasty r walk 10 minutes a day? Based on the information I was given, of course I chose to walk 10 minutes a day. When I was submitted to fountain valley hospital, low blood pressure 90/50 Doctor visited me but didn't tell me anything. My sister asked my permission to talk to him and she did and she told my nephew I had a 99% blockage in my heart. Doctor didn't want to operate so fountain valley cardiologist doctor Tuan Nguyen gave me a stent. After the spent, I still have 60% blockage but he said I could live with that and won't operate until my blockage reaches 70%. I am disappointed in doctor why he didn't tell me I had a 99% blockage but he told my sister and she told my nephew and he told me about my 99% blockage which is extraordinary. I only had 1% blood flow and I survive all 65 years. I don't know what to make of it so I stopped seeing him because how can I trust a doctor that won't tell me? I had a 99% blockage and I could have died and asked me would I prefer to walk 10 minutes a day or an angioplasty and who in their right mind would say I prefer an angioplasty when he described it as having a tube inserted into your artery. That sounds very painful. When I could walk 10 minutes a day and eat better. He should have just told me you need an angioplasty because you have a 99% blockage which would guarantee to fix your problem and 10 minutes a day afterwards would prolong your life instead of giving me a pointless unnecessary choice that put my life in jeopardy and danger of a heart attack. I don't know what to make of his rationality and I rather just not deal with them so my cardiologist is now Tuan Nguyen. I don't know what to think of him or his ability when he refused to confide in I had a 99% blockage. Can someone figure out his mindset? I don't get it
