Cardiac Patient Says Dr. Fred Meadors Saved Her Life

Congratulations Dr. Fred Meadors, Cardiovascular Surgeon, for being named an Infirmary Service Hero!

Dr. Meadors was nominated for the award by a patient who said he saved their life.

The patient said it’s been a little under a year since they met “this angel walking this earth.” They said Dr. Meadors performed surgery on them for congestive heart failure and rheumatic valve.

Not only did the patient say that Dr. Meadors was informative and honest, but she was impressed by his passion for cardiology.

“I have never in my life met a provider who moved me by the way his career was a labor of love as he had. Because of the surgery he did, I can run and play with my two little boys. He gave me a gift that is unrepayable.”

The patient was also very impressed with the entire surgery team. She said they were kind, optimistic and caring. She also said because of the treatment and care, she has lost 120 lbs and has been able to significantly cut down on her medication. The patient believes none of this would’ve been possible without Dr. Meadors.

“I would love to thank him for saving my life and giving me a chance to live that if not for his intervention I wouldn’t have lived much longer.”
