A Man with a Bad Heart

Dan noticed afterwards that Max coughed a great deal and was short of breath. After about a week Max said that his chest rattled when he breathed. Max asked Dan if he knew a good heart doctor from a hospital. The man didn’t want to go to his regular doctor, because he was Sharon’s doctor too and he would tell her.

Dan remembered Dr Flinch, the physician who had helped him so greatly with the lung cancer.

After his visit Max came directly to the drugstore. He looked sombre.

“Is he a good doctor?”

“The best I’ve found so far.”

“I was so nervous I don’t remember anything he said.

Dan called the physician. Max wondered what Dr Flinch had told his friend.

“You have a double lesion”.

“Don’t talk to me in medical terms. Tell me so I can understand. What kind of operation do I have to do?”

“It’s open heart surgery. They cut the heart open. They put a pump in its place so that you get oxygen while it’s being worked on.”

“Is the heart beating all the time?”

“They stop it. It’s a dangerous operation but you have no choice.”

“I’m not getting any operation until Sharon has the baby.”

Max opened a jar of pills and took one.

Ward, 7 Radcliffe hospital

3rd April 2004

Dear Kasia

This is just a short letter to let you know that I’m in hospital – but don’t worry, it’s nothing too serious, just a broken ankle.

It happened on Thursday evening when I was dancing! I jumped up and landed on the side of my foot. The doctors say it’s a complicated break, so I have to stay here for a week for more x-rays. It’s a real drag, I can tell you.

I’ve got lots of books and magazines, but even so, being in hospital is dead boring! I’m not allowed to leave my room, so I can’t go for a walk, and I don’t know what to do with my time.

Anyway, it’d be great to hear from you with any news. A funny letter would really cheer me up. Do you think you could send me some magazines or something?

Hope to see you very soon.

Lots of love,

Anna
