WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP

My Mothers ex gardiner who is aged 83 has Atrial Fibrillation and is quite breathless. He has collapsed 3 times. His cardiac doctor who is well known, very experienced and greatly respected told him that he needed a pacemaker. However this has been overuled by his superior who told him that he did not need a pacemaker. I have examined him myself and I am convinced he needs a pacemaker. He is quite rightly worried to death. His wife has a heart condition also and she is totally dependant on him. They are a lovely couple but sadly very poor and are therefore dependant on the NHS here in the UK. I want to help them if I can but I fear the worst. Any suggestions.
Cheers Peter

I often wondered if you collapsed on the street if you would stand a better chance of treatment in England.

Sorry to hear of your news, how frustrating. Can't think of any positive answers or comments for you. The Lady magazine often advertises different charities. I wonder if there is one that can help. Cheers Billie

I am just grateful to God that I lived long enough to have my ICD put in. So many people are not as lucky as us; even though we sometimes don't feel lucky.
