"ep study and ablate if safe to do so ."

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital

the Consultant oozes class. professional skilled direct honest . The Consultant met their initial objectives of ep study and ablate if safe to do so. the dr made numerous attempts to safely ablate but had the presense of mind to call it off and live to fight another day .many would have carried on and who knows. I felt safe and sensed their presense when I feeling any discomfort. They also helped guide another doctor who attempted ablation of my posteroseptal pathway and was always on hand to stop an ablation being made by the other dr. who to their own credit did check with the Consultant if the catheter ablation probe was being positioned away from sensitive tissues .and safe for themself to ablate.and when the Consultant said ablate I kind of felt it was being safely done. They earned their acclaim that day.and all the staff well done.thankyou for your safe efforts .mr paul betteridge and family. I dreaded any damage to av node or arteries etc . thanks for keeping me safe from that.your a credit to your profession. I did hear the other doctor being guided of the Consultant mention future attempts with 3d imaging. either way I like to thank all the nursing domestic clerical and support staff. Big thank you.i nervously thankfully await my next ablation attempt of my tricky posteroseptal pathway and thank the Consultant for their personal professional safe investigation and ablation attempts on this occasion.
