Have just checked posts on AFA SITEreading post from various people with problem over last year or so (happened to me last Fri 14th).Iagree with CDDreamer it was explained as a possible side effect,and is clearly stated in most literature you can read on ablation.
I do not like the idea that we should blame or sue this is UK not USA
Agreed. If we sign the consent form we should understand these things. I had a strange reaction following a perfectly normal procedure which I had had several times which luckily was not fatal thanks to prompt reaction from those on the ground. In seven years the team had never seen it before even though it was one of the risks listed! I would never consider legal action for the broken ribs I ended up with as I was just damned glad to be alive.
Sorry CDreamer realise that message was for Bob not me
