This post has been sitting on the server for at least a month. Yep, haven’t updated this blog… so I am now in catch-up mode. So here we got a short list of Kaiser doctors that helped me get through the heart attack and surgery. Was not easy but without them, I’d be pushing daisies today.

Dr. George Wilkinson, MD – Cardiac surgery – Was Dr. Wilkinson on loan from another location? Do I even have the right person. His connection to Kaiser is not listed online. I definitely met him before surgery. He is the doctor who did my open heart surgery.

Dr. Jeffrey Wu, MD – Cardiac surgery; “There is a Steely Dan song with your name on it”. Dr. Wu was also on my surgical team. As I understand it, he was second to Dr. Wilkinson.

Dr. Steven K. Kramer – My primary health care physician. Conveniently located at Kaiser Honolulu Clinic on King and Pensacola Streets. Mild mannered and listens.

Dr. Ali Z. Merchant – Cardiologist; consulted with him on heart follow-up.

Dr. John Lee – PAC – Encouraged me to cough early on; cardiology dept. Mac guy. 🙂

Dr. Timothy Skovrinski – Emergency room, 1-10-2016

Dr. Sue Lim, I liked her. “It’s okay to swallow the mucus you cough up”.  Her specialty is “hospital medicine”. She wrote some of my prescriptions.
