‘doctors’

His doctor gives him a little over a year at best if he does not get this implant done right a way. His heart function is at only 23% (normal is around 55%) and is continuing to drop every few months. He is on the highest dose of medication to improve function and it is not helping. His insurance will pay for everything but the cost of the defibrillator. Does any one know of a Charity that would either pay for the machine or donate one? Any information would help.
My husband has filed for SS we are waiting on it. He has Medicaid right now, they will cover meds, surgery, doctors, and hospital stay, but not the defibrillator itself.

I have a Carioverte- defibrillator Epic + HF Model V-350..and get tired really quick…. I feel that i cannot do anything really, once i work little longer i feel like im going to faint and have to stop. The doctors are trying to change fee stuff in the cardioverter but i still cannot o anything….sometimes i cannot even sleep…any suggestions with this cardioverter-defibrillator?

you know when the doctors say cleer when ever the person is nearly dying

I’m pretty sure it’s because if you’re in contact with the patient, you’ll get electrocuted, but someone recently told me it was because the patient ‘jumps’ and might hit the doctors. I thought it was pretty bizarre.

i want to know if it is possible to start a car with a hospital defibrillator. not the ones that go inside your chest. the ones the doctors use to bring you back to life.

I do NOT want opinions from doctors/nurses/EMT – I want to hear from someone who has one.

Hello,

My Girlfriend went into cardiac arrest when she was 14, and was saved by an AED. Now she has been fine for about 5 years now, however im still worried that it could happen again. Her doctors say theres nothing to worry about, but im still worried that it will happen again. Any insight?

*She does have a defibrillator

Thank you

My father recently changed his pacemaker and had a difibrillator installed, but now after three months he keeps getting these shocks almost everyday and thier becoming more and more intense to the point where he goes almost unconscious. Is there anything he can do to avoid this? Does it have to do with the pharmaceuticals he’s taking? The doctors he’s seeing now are saying that he might need an implant. Can anyone help?

my mother has one emplaced about 8 months ago and she is having many complications with it and the doctors are refusing to work on her can you tell me why, i understand that those leds have a recall on them but that is no reason for them to stop working on her, she is experiencing sharp pains from that general area and she recieved a mamogram and its not breast cancer. why are they refusing her and denying her? please respond a/s/a/p
