Hi i was admitted to hospital a few days ago (am home now) with chest pains I won't go into medical details but the cardiac doctor who saw me said they want to put me to sleep then deliberately shock me to bring my heart back into rhythm now I've always tried to avoid shocks so was wondering is this really a good idea? I know it's DC from a bank of condensers and not 50 cycle mains but all the same I'm not keen
Kelly, good luck with it. I know some some who had it done, frightend to say the least once the procedure gets explained to them "they will stop my heart then restart it!" but are really glad they had it once it`s over.
To put it in perspective just read the info leaflet you get with a pack of paracetomol, it will frighten the heck out of you. Everybody takes paracetomol though, no problem.
And that comes from someone who was brought up in the aspirin era too
