    TONIGHT'S PRIMETIME LINEUP ON MSNBC
    Wednesday August 23, 2001

    Every 33 seconds, another American dies from cardiovascular disease. Did you know that heart disease is the NUMBER ONE KILLER in America claiming nearly 460,000 men and women per year?

    Tonight MSNBC INVESTIGATES will take us inside the country's BUSIEST heart hospital. These doctors perform up to FIVE open heart surgeries per day! In this PREMIERE, we will witness the plights of a 31 year old man who needs a triple bypass surgery, a 64 year old man who is choppered into the hospital with his FIFTH heart attack and an obese woman who needs quadruple bypass surgery. You'll also meet a 51 year old patient with a high risk valve problem who refuses to get a blood transfusion. She is a Jehovah's witness who puts her faith before
    medicine. Will she be able to survive without any blood exchange? Watch tonight's LIFE AND DEATH hour we call HEART HOSPITAL at 9pm ET/6pm PT.

    Well here's the rub. The Jw doesn't sound like she came into the er where stat procedure is necessary.They obviously stabilized her and now have time to consider alternative therapies. Therein lies the difference. They have TIME which is a critical factor. Thanks for the post,luvTina
