4th Time’s the Charm: How Dr. Jaroszewski Saved My Chest And My Life.

Описание: Hey guys!

My name is Matt Wood and I currently live in Brooklyn, New York. I was born with a condition called pectus excavatum, or "sunken chest". I am currently 6 weeks post-op for my 4th Nuss procedure (chest wall reconstruction) in the past year and a half! This time, I went out west to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to have it corrected by arguably the best cardiothoracic surgeon in the U.S. for this procedure.

I'll be honest- it's been a long, anxious, and depressing 2 years, but it's worth it to better and preserve my quality of life.

I was asked by the Mayo Clinic of Phoenix to put together a short video about myself, and I will be used as a case study for future cardiothoracic surgeons due to the severity and uniqueness of my case. In this video, I explain how I went through 3 Nuss corrections in 2 weeks in October 2014...and how **INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT it is to research the surgery and surgeon before undergoing a procedure of your own.
