I was recently diagnosed with a Long Q Rhythm. I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there with this problem.
My Dr. recommends Beta Blocker and no more racing. He also commented that I've had this condition all my life so I'll probably be ok.
I would like to PM with anyone out there who is swimming with a similar situation. I am feeling very conflicted and would like to talk to someone in the same boat.
I read the paragraph about the sisters who swam in Nationals with a Long Q diagnosis, in fact that article motivated me to go to the electrophysicist (sp) and get this checked out by a specialist.
Well, that's a pressure we all feel.
As a pediatric subspecialist, I currently give new patients an hour -- and usually fill that time. My adminstration is trying to push that to 40 minutes. We are resisting but I don't know how successful we will be. Will patients feel short-changed with shorter appointments? Maybe - of maybe I am over estimating the value of the education I do.
Certainly to talk about a serious diagnosis, like the one in question here or (in my case) chronic lung disease, I would need a fair amount of time to do the job reasonably well.
interesting. At this point I am 1 week and 1 day out from my appointment. I have heard nothing from anyone. I still haven't recieved the result of my echo-cardiogram although I have recieved the bill. Perhaps no news is good news. I am still waiting to hear if my insurance company will pay for genetic testing. I presume the office is doing this. i hate this waiting.
I see over 750 students per week at my school. If I take over a week to grade an assignment I'd get fired. Oh, and the governer of Indiana thinks teachers are over-paid.
