OP My Mom, brother and I recently sat down to review everything with the doctor before Mom's surgery and the doctor mentioned that one of her heart medications is prophylactic. Ken, an educated man but with no medical background, admitted to me afterwards that he said nothing at the time because I seemed satisfied but his first thought was "What are they going to be doing to my mother?!? She's 82, she can't get pregnant!"
