New cardiologist catches on


I recently moved. Moving medical care. Catching up new cardiologist to my heart health:

  • Fantastic blood pressure
  • No blockages, surprising for an overweight middle aged American who eats junk
  • Genetic anomaly that if it was gonna kill me would’ve done so in my youth
  • Electrical system completely whacked out, 100% supported by pacemaker

I could see him reading my chart wondering what I was about…got to genetic issue, and I could see his face relax as he saw I do need cardiac monitoring. Then got to electrical and fully understood why I’m a cardiac patient. It was fun seeing his face settle into: ok, that’s what we’ve got going on. 

I rarely see a general cardiologist anymore ‘cause I need two different specialists. And he caught on that I won’t really be his patient. But you have to start with the cardiologist first.
