Demanding change in medical practice!
In my story, I have not mentioned any names or blamed anyone for the incident that caused my near-death experience. However, I would like my circumstances to be considered serious enough to prompt changes in medical practice.
Apparently, when the physician assistant (PA) was yanking the wire attached to a thin needle acting as a pacemaker, it ripped my heart, causing bleeding. Such a sensitive task, which could be life-threatening, should not be handled by one PA alone.
I strongly recommend that at least two medical professionals be present during this procedure: one to pull the wire and the other to locate the exact position of the needle using an echo or ultrasound. When the PA yanked the wire attached to the needle, I knew my unbearable pain was not normal, yet nobody believed me until it became a matter of life and death.
During my second surgery, the ruptured area of my heart had to be stitched and covered with a patch.
Whereas I have not had any issues with my heart. My only concern was to prevent the aneurysm of the ascending aorta. This negligence caused me tremendous suffering, and my recovery has been much delayed. I have experienced fluctuating blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, and a painful cut and scar that extends from below my breastbone all the way up to my neck ; not in a straight line but zigzagged.

My Actions and Recommendations
First:
I will write step-by-step instructional guidelines for healthcare professionals to follow this new method of performing the procedure for all patients from now on. I want to ensure that nobody goes through the unnecessary, painful, and life-threatening experience I had.
Second:
Never leave your patients alone in the hospital. Always make sure a family member, a friend, or private caregiver is with the patient at all times, regardless of how many staff monitor the patient throughout day and night shifts. If it wasn’t for my sister running to the nurses' station and screaming for help, nobody would have taken my complaints about pain and discomfort seriously. When she cried out that my sister is turning blue, her lips are purple, and she can't breathe, it finally caught their attention
I thank you for your time reading my story
I’m open to any suggestions or recommendations that you may have. Please share & I will implement it in my instruction
