Story Summary

“I started playing clarinet when I was 10 and was asked to play golf with a friend in seventh grade, and just kept up with both,” said Bill, who is now in his early 70s.

“The funny thing about golf is you can play all day, and if you hit one good shot, you'll be back. For me, it was a fairway shot.” 

After retiring from his job as a medical physicist at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, Bill rededicated himself to his hobbies. He was so active that heart issues were not on his mind. 

But when Bill started seeing Kevin Lease, MD, an internal medicine specialist as his primary care doctor, one of the first things Dr. Lease suggested was a Love Your Heart cardiac screening.
