My cardiologist did a heart catheterization on me and said I needed open heart surgery for clogged arteries. He said it was not an emergency, but that I probably ought to get it done in the next few weeks. Would it be okay for me to undergo surgery at my local community hospital, or should I go to a larger facility?
