Feeling 20 Years Younger

When Gary Smith could no longer keep up with his friends on hunting trips, he knew it was time to hunt down the cause. He soon found that the reason he was slowing down wasn’t middle age; it was four severely blocked arteries.

There was no question in Gary’s mind that he would go to St. Mary’s for treatment. It came highly recommended by his daughter, an ICU nurse. Also, he could remain close to his loved ones and his family physician.

Using the latest heart bypass machine, veteran heart surgeon Dr. John Crouch performed a quadruple bypass. The result was nothing short of “unbelievable,” Gary says. “I went from not being able to do anything to feeling 20 years younger.”
