A lady on there was having ablation (£10,000) said Tony Blair had same thing when taken into hospital several years back,

[BobD Volunteer]

I was always told his was for SVT not AF.

[lingooz in reply to BobD]

Oh specialist said A F.

[BobD Volunteer in reply to lingooz]

I'd rather not have anything he had.

[lingooz in reply to BobD]

Exactly what lady concerned said to the specialist lol 😁

[CDreamer in reply to lingooz]

Also it was for Flutter not Fibrillation, much shorter procedure - the one on the programme I mean. My ablation was in the region of £15K But then the procedure took over 7 hours whereas for Flutter it is usually 2 or so.

[lingooz]

Interesting(thought they were the same) I have P A F

[BobD Volunteer]

Flutter is in the right atrium and shows on ecg as a saw tooth bottom line. AF is in left atrium which means passing through the central wall so much more complicated.

[lingooz in reply to BobD]

Very interesting thank you

[pennytupence in reply to BobD]

I have A Fibrillation and had an ablation a few weeks ago in Blackpool and it only took 1 and a half hours.I had a laser balloon ablation where they drop a little camera in your heart.But I was told it depends how quick they can find the miss firing signal to how long it would take.

[Deeferdi]

I thought Tony Blair had cardioversion, not ablation?

[lingooz in reply to Deeferdi]

So few of you have said

[bebe7637]

Quite frankly I couldn't care less what Tony Blair had !!!!

[wilsond in reply to bebe7637]

quite

[lingooz in reply to bebe7637]

Well I did not post to mention him, more about cost

[Eddiesue]

No he dint , his heart was stopped and restarted . I have been in the next bed of some one who had the same thing done , it was a matter of minutes , I asked the Doctor why I couldn't have the same , I was told mine was difrent and I went on to have Two Ablations .

[lingooz in reply to Eddiesue]

Thanks for your reply

[davegm]

According to the BBC he had an ablation for atrial flutter.

I well remember on leaving the hospital saying he was feeling absolutley fine and back in charge!

I'm sure this was said through gritted teeth!

[lingooz in reply to davegm]

True

[Hidden]

I wonder whether his heart was on the left or the right

[lingooz]

Ha ha ha. Very good

[shirlygirly]

So very glad we are all of the same mind about TB, my faith in human

nature is restored. God bless you all, Shirley.

[BobD Volunteer in reply to shirlygirly]

amen!

[weezergeezer]

No.... youre all wrong,

he was taken into hospital see if he had a heart.....you can make up your own minds on that !

[Hidden in reply to weezergeezer]

Good old Tone.

[Ang3lc4ts]

I couldn't leave a better comment after all those! Good on you all! I thought at the time that he was seen to and sorted a bit quicker than any of us, we all had to carry on with jobs and probably did it better!

Angel blessings to all.

Is Tony Blair the Middle East Peace Envoy ? Surely not the same TB who took us into the Iraq war !
