Re: getting help

Christopher:
I went through 3 cardiologist before finding one that would spend the
time I wanted understanding what was going on and looking at my symptoms.\/
I am a Biomed engineer and was having bouts of afib but it was never caught
on an EKG. When explained to my current cardiologist what I wanted he went
long with my plan and put me on a holter ,monitor and recorder. The afib
was identified and we have addressed it via and ablation and bi-ventricular
pacer. I am not suggesting you might need the same, just that finding a
doctor is getting a good pair of shoes - one size does not fit all and you
might need to "try on"several to find the best fit for you.

Good luck,

Don
