So unrealistic... No way the guy on the bottom got the time off to go to surgery.

Imagine how mad my former boss was when I was in the hospital for 4 days because the heart issues I didn't know about were causing me to nearly pass out at work. Then I got a note that let me off for 3 weeks to let the new meds take effect before I went back.

Don't get me started on how half ass the diagnosis ended up being either. Got a heart transplant 5 years later after seeing a different doctor.

    Had you gotten a new heart rhythm, by the way? Was it hard to accommodate to your new heart?

    Same guy, my other instance seems to be down.

    I'm not sure what you mean by a new heart rhythm. Once I got a healthy heart I've been at a normal sinus rhythm, rather than dealing with tachycardia and a bad arrhythmia, if that's what you mean. My rate is a bit elevated than a normal person's because the nerves that more closely control that get cut during the transplant (if my understanding is correct).

    Otherwise, I did some physical therapy for a few months and have to take anti-rejection medication for the rest of my life, but I'm better than before by far.

    I mean did you feel something strange in beating of your new heart?

    Nothing strange, no. More of a realization of how out of wack my old heart was before the surgery. Once I got through some of my therapy, I felt normal again for the first time in a long time and not long after i felt even better than my old normal.
