As told to William Peters

was not as badly off as she had
thought. l suggested that she try
full-time work and she positively
beamed. AS she turned to leave the
examining room, she hesitated. Il
guess it would be too dangerous
for me to think of having a baby"
she said. MY husbands working
again and ="
I'm afraid had to smile. Talk
to your own doctor about it," |
told her. IF he feels there's no
danger. which is quite likely, he'll
be able to advise you how to mini
mize any strain that pregnancy
might put on your heart" She left
the happiest woman l have ever
seen.
Most women in their child
bearing years who have heart dis
ease are capable of bearing chill
dren if they are careful to follow
their doctors advice throughout
the pregnancy. There are some
cases. of course, in which a preg-
nancy is not advisable.
1000 Patients
In THE years since the Work Clas-
sifcation Unit opened, almost a
thousand patients have been ex-
amined. The work of the clinic has
included counseling youngsters
with heart disease in the choice of
career. Occasionally we have had
to advise patient to turn to less
taxing work. One of the surpris-
ing things we have learned is
that perhaps a fourth of the
people who think they are car
diacs have no heart disease
at all.
Martin Peterson came to the
clinic one evening. A good-looking
man in his late forties, he had been
a successful advertising executive.
Five years before, a doctor who
had examined him for life-insur-
ance rolicy had rejected him for a
heart murmur. To Martin, those
two words heart murmur" had
been like a death sentence. He quit
his job and stayed home trying to
lengthen his span of life by doing
nothing. Soon he began to expert
ence chest pains, breathlessness,
palpitation and fatigue.
Painfully, Martin admitted to
me that he had never gone to see
his own doctor because of his fear
that he would be told he had only
a few months to live. discovered
there was actually nothing wrong
with Martins heart. His symp-
toms were real enough, but they
were caused by fear. 1t is possible
that he once had murmur. But
heart murmur, contrary to popu-
lar belief, can be present in nor
NAL heart. For Martin, the fear
that kept him from consulting his
own doctor had meant five years
of half-life, loss of income, loss of
interest in living.

but we have to have money until
my husband finds another job"
Marian Walsh went through the
same routine as Jim Mason: medi-
cal, social and occupational his
tories; laboratory tests; a complete
physical examination. This time it
was the vocational counselor who
turned up important information
that doctor alone might easily
have missed. He checked into the
work she had done at the store and
compared it with the housework
she had been doing at home after
her recovery. He found that her
job had actually required less ex-
ertion than the housework.
Her Fear
l HE team that worked with her
decided that Marian could safely
go back to her old job if she re-
manned under medical supervision
and used some of her income to
have someone do her housework
for her. But there was an added
problem in her case: her fear that
working might kill her. Working
closely with the family doctor and
the Employment Service. we sug-
gested that she try working five
hours a day, four days a week. The
store was glad to have her back.
In six months Marian returned
to the clinic for a regular check-up.
