“My heart has always been full”

Your heart and Ray Charles’ heart,have been always full with love. Your cardiologist would not be able to detect it. Thus this very touching song.

I would love a cardiologist who asks what I have loved and how I have loved in my long life.

I love the whimsy and heart in your poem.

Be aware there are two types of cardiologists. Interventional, and non-interventional. They're all trained in interventional procedures...catheterizations of all sorts, stenting, valve procedures. After their training there end up being two types...those who can, and those who don't. I had a two-stent procedure 8 years ago - he was so good it was no more stressful than a tooth cleaning; a perfect, easy recovery from a minor heart attack. Hopefully you won't ever need the one who can.

Nope. Check credentials and Reddit and state health records for complaints and go to someone in NYC.

My first and only cardiology appointment was with a doctor who looked 18. Turns out he was in his 30s and a friend of my niece. There was a picture of him on her FB account wearing a bathing suit.
