@jimgrupe I am sorry to read about all of the frustration you have experienced for your heart and pacemaker care. Yes, you deserve to be heard and receive the very best care, and we each need to be our own vocal advocates. I do not know where you live but recommend seeking out a Center of Excellence (COE) for heart care. If one is not nearby, many people in the Connect discussions travel for care. Also, teaching hospitals and doctors with privileges at these places (medical school training grounds) very often are top facilities with excellent caregivers as I have discovered here in Upstate NY. I just did a search; in my browser I typed in "heart block experts capital region ny" and my electrophysiologist is listed among them. Wishing you success in finding a doctor you are comfortable with. Let us know how your journey is proceeding.
