Medical health records show that current health practices nowadays are poor. People’s attitude towards health doesn’t lead to hygienic living. They abuse their vigor by exposing themselves in different non-healthy activities such as habitual smoking, and drinking alcoholic beverages, resulting to Lung Cancer, hepatitis and vascular diseases which includes stroke, angina, heart attack, all of which result in reduced circulation. Lots of rich people spend most of their wealth in self medication. For example, once a lung cancer has been staged, the physician and patient can discuss between themselves treatment options that will be necessary. Patient must be well-informed of the side effects and possible outcome of a certain procedure.
On the other hand, with over millions suffering with heart disease, cardiac surgery is often inevitable. A cardiac surgery is performed in a by a trained cardiac surgeon on the heart and possibly its great vessels. The surgery is done to correct congenital heart disease, treat valvular heart disease and for heart transplants. Lastly, vascular surgery may be necessary for arterial leg ulcers, to distend the artery diameter using ‘balloon angioplasty’ for instance, or more in-depth ‘by-pass surgery’.
