Wow, that's awesome. I think I would love to have the experience, myself. But it's really odd that someone who needs heart surgery in the UK, might have to wait 6 months or more or come to the U.S. for it, while they rush everyone for a mammogram... At least that is what I've heard about lifesaving measures, not to mention 2 children that were left to die in the last couple of years. I suppose there really is a tradeoff..
