I'll be traveling to Cleveland for surgery in a few months. I need to have heart cath done before the surgery. I have tentatively agreed to have that procedure done in Cleveland as well. They told me I could have it done in my hometown if I wanted to, but I figured it would be better to have them do it.
I have never has a heart cath before, and I'm not sure if there really is a benefit to having it done in Cleveland. The proposed schedule I got from Cleveland is now going to require me to be in Clevleand for almost a week before my surgery for the heart cath, routine tests the day before the heart cath, and intervening weekends, pre-op stuff, consultation, etc.
If I have the heart cath done locally I could probably reduce my required pre-surgery days in Cleveland from six to about two.
So is it worth it to have the heart cath done in Cleveland if it means four extra days cooped up in the hotel, or should I just have it done in my hometown?
