I have an appointment scheduled with a cardiologist.

I hope I am a candidate for this:

That sounds exactly like what I've heard. There are a couple different ways to do the 'zap' and sometimes the patient is not even under general anesthesia. I hope I am a candidate for it, and I hope they knock me out. (My med student daughter wants me to ask if she can watch!)

(Brewer talked to her on the phone while I was in the ambulance. She told him what they'd do, and if that didn't work, she said they'd defibrillate me--and she suggested that he bring me clean undies just in case. Glad we didn't have to go there.)
