Clinical philosophy

A stent is a tool, not an answer

Opening an artery relieves symptoms. It does not, on its own, change what happens in five years — the tablets and the walking do that, and the conversation is worth as much as the procedure.

He will show you the angiogram. Most people find the picture easier than the description, and a decision made looking at the thing is a decision that holds.

He is explicit about what a procedure will not fix. Breathlessness that is not cardiac stays breathlessness afterwards, and it is better to know that before than after.

  • He turned the screen round and showed me the artery. I understood the decision in about four seconds.

  • My mother's whole rehab group is in Spanish because of him. She would not have finished it otherwise.

    Maya EllisonPatient since 2018
  • He told me a stent would not fix the breathlessness and referred me to respiratory instead. He was right.
