It is always important to understand all the risks associated with surgery before having it done. That’s why we can’t blame Ivan Applin, a 10-year-old boy from Toledo, Ohio, for checking what might happen as a result of his upcoming heart surgery.
10-year-old Ohio State fan worried heart surgery will make him love Michigan
As pediatric cardiologist Dr. Ronald Grifka showed 10-year-old Ivan Applin the wire-framed device that would be used to fix the holes in his heart, the Toledo fourth grader had just one burning concern.
“He asked if the Michigan doctors were going to make his heart love University of Michigan instead of Ohio State,” his mother Jennifer laughs.
It’s a fair concern to have, considering how good Ohio State is going to be this year. Don’t want to miss out on enjoying a second national title in as many years because some doctor got your wires crossed. Good job, Ivan. We’re proud of you for being so forward thinking and responsible.
