Duel of the Doctors

Dr. M & Dr. W met on the green at dawn with flintlocks to see who would win.  Not really, but there has been a lot of back-and-forth discussion on what's the appropriate treatment for Nana.

As it stands currently, Nana would need to have a heart valve or two replaced.  This means open heart surgery, which is not to be taken lightly.

Nana has another appointment with Dr. W in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how things are then.

Catching Dr. Y

Dr. Y (at Dr. W's request) came and presented an option to Laura and Nana: A catheter ablation procedure to help control her heart rhythm.  He said that it could be done soon, or Nana could return and have it done.  He then left the room.

Nana decided that since she was already in the hospital, that it would be a viable option.  Laura had to go hunt down Dr. Y to let him know their decision.  Laura spotted him in the elevator, and the door was closing.  She jammed her arm in the elevator, and managed to catch Dr. Y and get things set up.  The ablation procedure is scheduled for Friday the 11th.
