“I feel that I have come full circle in my career. Early on I was asked by an emergency physician why I wanted to go into emergency medicine. My on the spot answer was, “I want to make a difference and save lives”. In retrospect it may have been overly idealistic and a little naive - but it was from the heart. Years later, as a young emergency physician it was rewarding and exhilarating to feel like you snatched someone from the jaws of death - however, over the years of seeing patients “after the damage was done” it became obvious there must be a better way.
It became obvious: We need to "Prevent the crash instead of repairing the damage after the crash." We need to prevent vascular disease instead of repairing the damage after heart attacks and strokes.
By providing effective screening with a process that is easy and efficient, it allows early detection and early intervention of vascular disease and prevention of the catastrophic event that is bound to happen if left unchecked. After practicing medicine 20 plus years, I feel that Heart Health Screening and Heart Health Strategies are the vehicles to make the greatest difference and impact more lives.”
