David Evans is a forty-nine-year-old accountant specialising in tax. His hobbies include playing squash three times a week and hiking most weekends with his wife. It came as a complete shock to both him and his wife when he was told in May of this year that he needed urgent by-pass surgery. As far as he was concerned he was very active and fit! However, the cardiologist told him differently and he ended up having six by-pass grafts. A 'double-triple' as his eighteen-year-old daughter says. He has made a full recovery and has been back playing squash since the middle of August. It is only now as he looks back, with his new found fitness, that he realises his pre-operation health was less than adequate! The doctors told him, by the way, that his condition was hereditary. Whether he likes it or not he has the gene and will more than likely need the operation again.
