[Ben Bidstrup]

But does that give the team time to fully assess the patient?

>>Our heart surgery waiting lists (WL), here in Serbia, are permanently
>>growing, with today average of about 1000 people per centre annualy. It
>>seems that we do not make them properly, since death rate on WL is also
>>permanetly increasing (from 8% three years ago to 15% last year).
>>Questions:
>>1) General opinion about WL for heart surgery (ethics)?
>>2) Criteria? Who makes them?
>>3) Your annual WL load?
>>4) Your WL mortality?
