Heart of the Matter (2022)

A young cardiologist has a patient with a disability who ends up passing away. She feels responsible for his death. When she visits the mother of her patient to apologize she becomes angry and sues to have the doctor’s medical license taken away.This is the film about a cardiologist who makes an error in not telling her developmentally disabled patient not to drive and he gets into a car accident which results in his death. Our cardiologist blames herself and grieves, gets blamed by her patients mother, deals with the legal ramifications as well as the medical review board.I wish I could rave about this film…the acting was good and the story was good, but when I come home from the hospital the last thing I want to see is a sad real life story. They may have wrapped it up nicely in a hallmark way at the end (although a little rushed) but the story was a little sad for escapist television.
