Transcript:
MUSIC PLAYING] My name is James Rhoades. I live in Owensboro, Kentucky, 54 years old. I go by Jimmy, and that's how I'm pretty much known to all my friends and families. 2017, the spring season, actually the months of February and March, I had what was diagnosed or told to me as the common flu in a beginning bout. And I went to the local clinic system in Owensboro and couldn't get over it.
So on a couple revisits, I think three different trips, I was told once that I had touch of pneumonia, bronchitis, and then finally I was told that I had pleurisy, all infections, lung infections. Nobody ever did a chest X-ray. So they had no idea that DVT, Deep Vein Thrombosis, was blood clots moving. And my lungs were filling up with blood clots. And that was the process that started my illness.
They took me to the hospital, which took some convincing. I'm a little bit stubborn, but wife got me in the car and took me to Owensboro, the new Owensboro health system hospital, and took me to the emergency room. Again, I was extremely ill, almost semi-unconscious, in and out, sleeping on the couch while waiting to get in to be seen.
And I remember going in to the check-in room, and they started running my vitals. And one of the first things that was an immediate sign was I remember they did my blood sugar, and they checked my blood sugar. And it was like 945. They knew right there that something was going on in my blood.
I remember a conversation, which was my first introduction to who is now my current and became my cardiology doctor, my cardiologist in Owensboro, Dr. Kishor Vora. My first meeting with him is he was explaining to my wife that they were going to do some processes to me, and they were looking at the possibility doing a CT scan and some other scopes. And I asked the doctor. I said, again, being as sick as I was, I asked him if I could go somewhere and get a second opinion.
And he kind of leaned over the bed and got close to my ear. And he said, yeah, yeah, man, I'll sign you out. I'll start the paperwork right now.
He said but I'll give you a heads up. If you're going to the next closest hospital, which was Evansville, Indiana, 35 miles away-- he said if you're going to Evansville, you'll be dead before you get there. And I guess at that point, I knew how serious I was and hearing it from a doctor.
That's my last conscious memories in Owensboro. After I know I was at 12, 14-hour open heart surgery in Owensboro. Dr. Vora put together a team, Dr. Ung and some other surgical doctors in cardiology and vascular doctors in Owensboro. And they worked on me for about 14 hours. And I was told they had come out and told my family that they were successful with repairing my heart. Blood clots were removed.
And at that point, they thought, in about 45 minutes, they would have me off life support bypass, and the family would know the next steps. There was a time span of an hour. Hour and a half went by, and my son started panicking. He knew something wasn't right.
And about two hours later, they had come out and told my family that they couldn't take me off the ECMO machine, the bypass. My heart was swollen, and my heart was enlarged and wouldn't come back. Because of the weeks of being sick, it had pumped thickened blood, that puttied blood from the deep vein thrombosis. Because of the heart being a muscle, the muscle had grown just like, if you work out, your biceps grow. And at that point, the call was made by Dr. Ung and Dr. Vora and the team in Owensboro to get UK medical and Dr. Sekela involved. And they said they were going to bring a special transport unit from Lexington to Owensboro.
I was sternum open for 8 and 1/2 days. I was on ECMO for almost nine total days, the machines totally living for me. Through the process of me being shut down, from what I've learned and what my family was instructed, was that cooling time and that time of my body relaxing let my heart and my organs return to a normal, rested size instead of being so pumped up like they were from working with the thickened blood.
And on that eighth-- 8 and 1/2 day, on that day, they said my heart just started mimicking and following the machine. And my heart naturally started following ECMO and the pattern and the beating. And at that point, Dr. Tessmann, who was on the team with Dr. Sekela, I know there was a consult that they discussed that the time had come to close my sternum and start weaning me off the ECMO.
So that nine-day cycle was-- and again, you know, I'm unconscious. So at this point, everything I've learned in hindsight. But you know, I know that I was in good hands. I've always bled blue. I've always been a UK fan before the medical, you know, before a UK medical fan, but I was a UK Cat's fan.
