Very interesting debate going on about LVAD patients and our right to 30 days of 1A time without hospitalization. The arguments that Dr. Pinney points out are absolutely true....knowing that I had 30 days to use at some point in the future strongly influenced my decision. What do you think?
Should LVAD patients get 30 days of 1A time?
I agree that LVAD patients should get 30 days of 1A time. My husband received an LVAD in order to save his life until he could get a transplant. Anyone needing an LVAD is in a similar situation; it's a MAJOR surgery that is only recommended in serious cases. Although he didn't get the call during that period, he did 15 months later and is doing fantastic. The LVAD kept him alive until he could be successfully transplanted, for which we are forever grateful.
