I read here and checked it out, amiodarone can result in CKF. Chronic Kidney Failure. Wanna trade your heart for dialysis? Glad you are off it.
My cardiodoc is supposed to monitor my bloods. He has never asked for lab draw cbc or panel. He is a very good clinician and treater.
My pcp took bloods and got all upset at my kidney numbers.
They have very different personalities and apparently dont talk to each other. One tells me to tell the other one blah blah. Then the other one sends me back to the first one saying tell him blah blah.
This is modern medicine😄

I really feel ya about the miscommunication between docs! I’m lucky my PCP & cardio each work w/in networks that do communicate! I made the mistake of going out of network for a new doc (pulmonologist) & it wasn’t good, at all. Had to find another one. Don’t be timid about changing docs till you find ones you can work with. I’ve had to drop/change 3 now! Good luck!!

@shmerdloff honestly, sometimes I feel like they really don't care and have become complacent with their patients!
