crystal,
Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you are having a problem that requires heart surgery.
Without going into what your problem is exactly, I have a couple of suggestions for you. There are several heart hospitals across the country that will treat patients regardless of their ability to pay, or their insurance status. Two hospitals that come to mind are Deborah Heart and Lung Hospital in Browns Mills, New Jersey. The other is St. Judes Hospital in Southern California.
When contacting them, ask about other hospitals that may be closer to your location.
Best wishes.
Martin Cane, M.D.
