Yes, the EP needs to be a good listener as well as skilled. One can hope.

Quality of life is definitely my priority. I learned a lot watching my brothers battle and die way too young from cancer. When one had stage 4 esophageal cancer and in decline, a surgeon noticed very suspicious moles. So they did 30 deep and wide biopsies each requiring several stitches that left him even more miserable. I couldn’t believe it. 12 turned out to be stage 1 maybe 2 melanoma. Who cares about that? Ridiculous to put him through that. He died a few months later from his esophageal cancer. I’ve tried to learn from their experiences.
