My ED visit was one for the medical journals! Dr. Hardwick suggested cardioversion to treat my afib episode. He answered all my inquiries, his kindness calmed my nerves. I agreed with the procedure and I told him I trust him! While Britt, the RN in charge, was preparing for the procedure, we had a light hearted ( no pun intended) conversation, we were giggling and laughing since the conversation started when I compared the cardioversion to gastroenterology procedures. Before the sedation was going to be administered, Britt said " Stop"! She heard the beep changed ( supersonic hearing, I thought!) My heart �� converted to sinus rhythm without any warning! For me, that's a miracle! Britt was so amazing, the whole team helped me stay calm and positive about the procedure! Dr. Hardwick is the best! I appreciate the entire team who were there that night! Dr Hardwick, Britt, another RN ( sorry I forgot) the Respiratory Therapist, and the ECG technician! The cardioversion wasn't performed, I was observed for a while to make sure that my afib didn't come back , then got discharged. I left Britt with the suggestion of having conversations with afib patients, comparing cardioversion to more invasive procedures ( in my case gastro procedures), probably just to help the heart to behave. Lol . This was my best ED visit ever, I'll be telling this story to my family's next generations to come!
