My Cardiologist has suggested that we "look into" having a pacemaker implanted. I am such an obstinate, ornery old man; he knows that is the best way to deal with me. Apparently, he thinks it might prevent sudden death. Last year I wore a 24 hour holter monitor which did not pick up any unexpected activity. Thus, I feel this is premature.
The purpose of this tirade, is tell everyone to take control of your own heath care. Find out as much as you are able to absorb about this sinking ship we are all aboard. Only then, can you intelligently discuss with your doctors, your treatment options.
