Oh gosh, ditto. I am a nurse too. I thought you might be by the way you explained the details. My cardiac electrophys. is uninterested and my primary is also feeling guilty because he encouraged as well. I did hit the literature before the procedure but did not find what I now know. I am very angry with the cardiologist....it was his job to know. Given our circumstances, do you think it is realistic to plan on returning to work? You said your cognitive function has been compromised, would you share to what degree? I used to work high-level nursing management with multiple responsibilities, now I can only manage one thing at a time that requires intellectual processing....and then only on good days. I used to work high-stress area and now the phone ringing can send me into a flush and cold clammy response....other times I am fine. It does make you feel like you are crazy....or at least it makes me feel that way. Any words of wisdom?
