Doctors don't always have the opportunity to hear about the impact they've had on their patients. So, Interventional Cardiologist Dr. John Phillips and Emmy Award-winning journalist/patient advocate Kym McNicholas talk to patients who have a disease that's deadlier than all cancers combined, except lung cancer, called Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). PAD is a circulation issue in the legs that left untreated can lead to amputation, stroke, and heart attack. Patient Alan offers his thanks to Dr. Kumar Madassery at Rush Hospital as well as Dr. Jihad Mustapha at Advanced Cardiac and Vascular Centers in Michigan, along with his vascular surgeons in Indiana. Nancy thanks Dr. James Antezana, a vascular surgeon in Charlotte, North Carolina for his care. Charles shares his appreciation for Dr. Michael Siah, a vascular surgeon in Dallas for saving his limbs as well as TheWayToMyHeart.org for supporting his wife through the journey. And Douglas shares his appreciation for Dr. Mehrzad Zarghouni for not only saving his legs but also his life.
