As far as changing doctors this is a difficult question to answer. If your friend has confidence in his physicians then he should press on and work with them for a complete recovery. If he has lost confidence a second opinion may be in order. Henry Ford hospital or the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor both have a well respected cardiology departments if he is looking for a second opinion. I hope you find this information useful.
