I was not allowed in the ER, sucked, but do to this person prior issues, they chemically delt with the svt issue and watched for an hour and we all agreed home was best. I have a defib unit here so other then the svt issue and blood work things can be done here.

Now how much did I put this person at risk and myself? I tried the sneaky ice water in the face deal that has worked a few times but for me to use the defib unit at home is a very very last resort.

She is in here mid sixties, 2 heart attacks, 2 strokes, 7 svt-s, 2 took a defib, 2 after heart ablation?. I hope we skated through.


Wow. So sorry to hear all of that. What an awful situation. frowwn
