Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.
I am currently seeing two EPs. It's a long story:)
At any rate, I am not afraid to grill the doctors for answers. I essentially interview my doctors when I meet with them.
To that end, I spent over an hour with both EPs recently asking them numerous questions about afib and ablations and other treatment options. I covered just about every possible subject. I got a ton of super useful information and I recorded both meetings.
I am thinking about having the interviews transcribed and putting them on my site. Would this be useful to anyone, or would it just be a waste of my time?

I suppose the legal answer to your question would be it depends. Depending on what things were discussed I think it might be very interesting to read the different views. I guess the biggest depend is whether or not the doctors gave you written permission to record, transcribe and then publish the conversation on the Internet.
Take care,

I definitely would like to read the transcript. If the EPS gave you permission there should be no problem. It is a good idea to ask permission. When I last met with my EP and told him I was going to do a post, for one thing he did say "This is off the record." So sometimes they don't want EVERYTHING they say to be put out there.
