he is going to implant a pacemaker in me within the next few days ..Thanks

Absolutely you should be more than concerned. Board Certification is extremely important. Please find another heart surgeon to do this. It sounds like you need to have this done pretty quickly. So please you can call the AMA for a referral or your regular MD. Please Take Care!

l would!!! You need to check his credentials and make sure he is not some phoney wack.Surgery is scarey enough.why would you even have to ask???????

l am with Lilia. You need someone who is certified! Opening up someone is chest is not a job for guess work.

Please contact your primary doctor and get a referral to someone board certified.

Normally any type of surgical procedure requires the patient (you) to Pre-register at a hospital or surgical facility, normally a hosp. & that u r required to go through certain screening procedures when u go for ur pre-reg chest x-rays, blood draws, etc. if necessary, depending on ur health. You did not mention what type of facility ie: hospital that you're having this done at. l can tell u that any hospital worth its salt is going to make darn sure that ALL of it is surgeons ARE completely Board Certified & highly qualified to do this or any other type of procedure!

l am suspicious of this question & if in fact it is just a query question, u got ur in concert! That means all of us!


[[[[Do NOT ALLOW HIM TO DO IT! You cancel that appt. & call the local Medical Board & let them direct you. Did not u get a referral for this so-called Surgeon from ur GP? Gen. Prac. & if so, go back to them & make them refer u to a Board certified Surgeon!
Another thing u can do is call the hospital where this clown works & ask them why they allow him privileges at that facility & what is their stance on NON-Board Cert. Drs.?

Remember, it is YOUR body! Make sure u get the proper care for it! And trust me, you're not going to make anyone mad by looking out for NO.1!


P.S. Have not u ever heard or read about these so-called Drs. who say they can do this or that & set up office & then turns out they FAILED their state board exams? That is what this means!

If u allow him to touch u & he is not Board Certified, u in essence r his guinea pig! Did not u see any Diplomas indicating his Board Certifications on his wall or what kind of clown is this? DO NOT DO THAT! ]]]]

uhh ya get another doctor!!!! NOW
