Patients may expect too much of heart procedures

Even heart surgery won't fix the fat you.

"In a study of 633 patients considering heart bypass surgery or angioplasty, researchers found that the patients typically expected the procedures to be more beneficial than their doctors did."

This is likely to be true:

"Moreover, there was often a discrepancy between what the patients said their doctor told them about the procedures' benefits and what the doctor actually believed."

I really do believe it is because docs oversell what they can do.
