I appreciate Dr Makkar so much! He sees my need to have a pacemaker asap. Another facility sent me home after a 5 day stay and scheduled me 3 months from now for an ablation. Dr Makkar said that is totally unacceptable as my hearShow moret was fluttering and pausing and I had passed out a couple times. He said I need a pacemaker asap. Thank you Dr Makkar!!!
