Electrophysiologist is a jerk who gave no information

Please research your electrophysiologist before your implantation surgery. I did not - just went with available doctor - due to COVID concerns. His implantation job has my PM jutting deeply into my armpit - plus had lead dislodgment reimplantation surgery a month after my first PM put in August. Then he yelled at me and shook his fist in my face in front of hub when I questioned him. Urrrggggh. Angry.

Fire him!

Yeah, that was a mistake.  Bad things can happen but his attitude was unaccepible.

Can't comment on American health care, but just wanted to say: great profile name!

My EP tells me the EPs should be members of the Heart Rhythm Society so they stay up to date with medical information.  

 

Poor medical care

What a terrible experience. How can such a rude and incompetant person practice medicine?

My own feelings would be a complaints procedure ( here in UK, NHS we have such) .  For really bad doctors we have the General Medical Council where various restrictions can take place on a doctor, or retraining, or removal from practicing medicine.  

I have no idea what happens in the States. It should be something of a morale duty to protect others from such practitioners. 

Dr

Reminds me of a member sometime back who complained and denigrated every doctor she saw. One day she came here whining about the fact no dr would accept her as a patient. 

You know you're wired when...

You always run anti-virus software.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
