Sad..

I have a surgery date of Dec. 20th. I have been so excited and counting down.... I just found out my Dr. had a heart attack yesterday. I don't know if he's ok or what the deal is. I am heartbroken for him and his family. I also have no clue what to do now....

This is so scary and frustrating...Are there other surgeon's in his office? If so, maybe you can be placed on their schedule.....Praying for you.....

Not that I know of. I don't even know how to approach his office. I have all of my pre-op stuff done and I also paid a hefty program fee as well. The reason I was going for Dec. 20th is because it's a good time to do it for my job. My boss isnt happy about me taking off, so this is the best time for "her". Who knows what happens now.

Once things settle down, I am sure his office will call you. Legally they can't leave you hanging. What usually happens is he will transfer his cases to another doctor. By next week I suspect you'll be notified what will happen.
