Cardio Thoracic Surgeon
A (pilot) friend requires heart surgery. Does anybody know or can recommend a surgeon that may even be a DAME? Obviously after the surgery he'll be looking to regain his Class 1 and continue working as a pilot. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated by this chap

Melbourne Private have a good team. Don't know if the Greek Prof is still working there, but he is tops. Had a mate have a replacement heart valve there and had his class one back a bit over six months later. Some restrictions, but not limiting for his rpt job.

Claudius - Aortic valve, or Aorta?
I had my ascending Aorta replaced with Dacron in 2005 and will probably have my valve replaced inthe next 3-5 years.
Dr Rohan Bhagwandeen in Hamilton, Newcastle, for me.

Well done.
I was determined to walk out under my own steam and did so on Day 6 too.
I went very pale and a bit blue aparrently, but I did it.
Great that you're still flying, in Aus I will be limited to as/with a co-pilot
