I was diagnosed with s.V.T 2 years ago. I
was suppose to get an ablation, but I had
to be referred to another doctor. By time
all the paper work was up, my insurance
was out. I have had several attacks since
then, and had to receive treatment at the
emergency room. I am only 20 years old
and I am in debt. I tried state help that
didn't work, I tried the larry king
foundation that didn't help. I am having
worse atackts more frequently. The last
attack was 300 b.P.M's. They gave me
three of the shots that slow it down ( iam
not sure what there called) and they still
asked to bring in the paddels. They were
starting to explain that they might have
to shock me , when my heart rate finally
let down. I am only 20 and I fell like I
have a 40 year old heart. If you have any
information, in direction you can point me
in, please any information would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you :cry:

Each state has ways for uninsured to get
health care, but it involves working with
folks with knowlegde in public aid. I'd
suggest contacting the social work
department in your local hospital and see
what opportunities are available in your
area.
