CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A recent incident at Adena Health System has intensified scrutiny of its cardiology department. A 65-year-old woman died during what should have been a routine heart catheterization, leading to pressing questions about the practices and credentials of the physicians involved. What happened after her time of death is concerning.
I get heart catheterizations at my yearly check ups for my heart transplant. Reading this made me feel sick. I’m so glad I go to a very well renown hospital for it.
Yes, I’m guessing that part of it is that Chillicothe is in the middle of nowhere (I went to a trade school there).
My 27 year old fiance just had to have a heart ablation and reading this nearly brought me to tears thinking about what could have happened.
