“A great story, must read by all interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. This is a real life experience of a patient who underwent a electrophysiology study and ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. The blog describes the how the procedure became a nightmare. Written in a most readable fashion. Interventional cardiologists need not get hurt by this narration instead they should do a reality check on the dangers of the some of the complex procedures !” – Dr. S. Venkatesan
“Great storytelling.”
“Please do not change your account to ease the feelings of those who consider it inflammatory. The situation deserves an emotional response.”
“I think your story is perfect as published. It is truth, and truth is what all of us need to see, and act upon.”
“Good Writing! Intriguing style.”
“I work at Hopkins and unfortunately have experienced a similar situation. Your voice is important. Thank you for publishing this. We need to look at ourselves and understand if we’re really performing as the BEST hospital. We have a long way to go. Your story needs to be heard by all. Continue publishing.”
“My knees and hands were trembling as I read the already published nine chapters. Hopefully things are improving after 5+ years since this disaster at what one might expect to be a superior facility. Read the various links as well.”
” … scared the *&#% out of me! I’ve had more bad experiences than good (involving Emergency care) not inpatient as your wife had. I realize how vulnerable we all are and pray that the person holding my heart (literally and figuratively) will treat me as that they would their own wife, mother, daughter or sister.”
“We start with the assumption that we have the best medical care in the world, so it’s appalling to read the horrifying stories that take place in what we thought of as the most venerable hospital in the country.”
“Interesting, well written… a ‘continuing’ story with more chapters to come…”
“An eye opener and very sobering for those of us who perform such procedures.”
“You tell ‘em Dan. I like your site. You tell it the way it is … “
