The Heart of Innovation with Kym McNicholas

Welcome to the first Episode of Save My Piggies on the Heart of Innovation in 2024!

Today Dr. John Phillips Leads the discussion with Dr. John Robert Coates a Primary Care Physician, from Ontario Canada, on a story talking about Hypercoaguability. It is a huge issue, as advanced blood work doesn't show a known risk factor for blood clots and yet his and other families have fallen victim in some form to them. The story on today's show focuses on his sister Melissa. She was a model & wrestler. A very active person prior to this condition in Las Vegas. Unfortunately having to receive an amputation was devastating her career. The recovery was long and arduous with multiple casting for prosthetics. By June of the next year she died in her sleep. They claim she had cardiomyopathy. Before she died she talked a lot about trying to help others with limb loss. So, that's what her brother John now is trying to do... is figure out ways to raise his sister's voice and help others.
