his age -- 5. >> i was doing some exercise about three weeks ago, jogging routine that i do and made it about .3 mile and then had the classic symptoms, chest pain, and then pain down the left arm and shortness of breath. >> what room is this? >> as in the case of bill clinton, bare was told he had no options by the time he saw the doctor. within days woe need bypass surgery. >> in this instance this is sort of what i consider a medical failure. in other words, he got these narrowings and plaque despite our efforts to prevent it from progressing. and my goal would be, even though i'm a surgeon and treat these things, is to not have them get to this point. from a public health standpoint we have to do this, because this bypass operation is going to be very expensive. >> he's not kidding. average cost in the u.s. -- $112,000. and there are about 450,000 procedures performed every year.
