“A cococa took me to death”, open-heart surgery saves 41-year-old life.

It was supposed to be a quiet evening for Adam Martin, the 41-year-old fireman from Cornwall, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. An unwary act, and at first sight, such as cleaning teeth with a fine metal thread could cost the father of three children. It all started in September 2019 when he watched a movie with his wife Helen, and he was stuck with a cocoche. Without second thought, Adam removed it by means of a metal thread, which initially caused an infection in the gums and then endocarde, a dangerous inner - heart infection.

I had a rough day and all I wanted was to sleep on the couch watching a movie. My wife had made popcorn, and when one was stuck, I found a thin metal thread nearby and took it away. The next day I was bleeding from my gums, but I made a huge dedication.

A week later, I also began to show my first concerns. I felt tired, woke up in sweat at night, had severe headaches, and takicards. I thought that this was related to the stress I spent each day at work, but the situation began to get even worse when I fell into a qualm. On the left foot, some skunk bubbles appeared, lesions of Janeway smaller than 2mmm when the infection flows from arteries to various parts of the body”-he falls.

Doctors diagnosed her with endocard, an internal heart condition infection that usually occurs when bacteria from other parts of the body, such as the mouth, spread through the blood and are attached to damaged heart parts. Left untreated can completely destroy heart valves.

Adam transferred to” The Pigiford Hospital” in Plymouth, about 129km from his home, where he underwent an open - heart surgery on October 21st to replace the heart attack valve that was damaged by infection.
