Paul's Story
In January of 2010 a major incident occurred. Paul was snowmobiling with some friends when he passed out. He woke up on his own and he attributed the incident to a lack of oxygen from his helmet being packed with snow. He again went to a general practitioner, had the full cardiac workup (EKG, Echocardiogram, blood tests, 24 hr heart monitor). All of these results were inconclusive, but due to the seriousness of "the incident", a referral to the cardiologist was made, but no appointment was established. Read Paul's story.
