Afrer his death I moved here and since his care had been so good I again had coverage from Kaiser. I told my physician, Dr. Kaur, that while I was in Santa Clara the doctor told me, after I had an electrocardiagram and electrocardiagraph that I had a hole in my aortic valve and that I would have to check with a cardiologist every two years. Dr. Kaur listened with her stethoscope very briefly and said there was nothing wrong with my heart. I now have a new plastic heart valve. The valve that was used was necessary because the aorta had become so enlarged this special valve was needed. If Dr. Kaur had been honest she would have heard the irregularity in my heart and I may have had a "pig valve" which requires much less care. If another doctor covering for Dr. Kaur had not been on duty when I complained of shortness of breath I would be dead today.
