Sorry I gave up as soon as they mentioned blood thinners and ablation surgery. Why can't people use the correct terms?

I found it interesting for that very reason. Should keep reading and when you see “aspirin “ as a substitute until he completes his World Series games.... you will be really baffled. An uneducated ESPN journalist made an attempt at explaining how this world class athlete could manage with “heart problems”. But also take note that he could not go to Colorado because apparently higher altitudes are a trigger (vocabulary not used in the story). So people with A-AFib are the only ones who can actually figure the story out.

That is always the problem with journalists. From experience even when you give them the correct story and terminology the still change it! The number of things I have proof read and altered are still reverted to original incorrect. Some days I just give up!
