No hon, it's not BS - I know of a kid who had that happen while playing softball - he got hit in the chest, and his heart stopped. They did CPR and got him started again, and he then had the pectus excavatum surgical repair. And you are better off having it done while you are young, and still have some growing to do. If you want me to, I'll explain what the surgery consists of - I've scrubbed several of them.
