Second opinion needed: a congenital heart murmur, Pretoria

Seeking a second medical opinion on a congenital heart murmur; a 20-minute call or written review would help.

Pretoria
Olivia was diagnosed with a congenital heart murmur in July. The local team has recommended immediate surgery. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure. We're asking if a gastroenterologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Olivia's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford. We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore. Thanks for even thinking about it. I hope life is good to you.

      Praying for you, Pieter. Hope the doctors have good news. After 17 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
