Sounds like a Red Ryder BB gun.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I am a rhythm analysis technician at a local hospital. I sit in a room for 12 hours and watch heart rhythms, and make sure no one dies. I'll have been here 5 years next month.

Guys like you have helped keep my son alive. He has hypoplastic left heart syndrome and goes into dangerously high supraventricular tachycardia sometimes.

Thanks for doing what you do.

Before that, I was a paramedic for about 8 years.

Before that, did a myriad of jobs.

I started having heart problems back in 1998 so they sent a recorder home with me. I caught the fast heart rate the next day and called it in. I was told to go directly to the ER, my heart was beating over 250 beats per minute. They did an angiogram then put some sort of leads up through the same incision through my groin that they did the angiogram with.  A tech guy sat there with a wall of switches and knobs and recreated my fast rate. He slowed it down and sped it up, made it skip beats. I thought I was going to die because I had no control what's so ever and was wide awake when he was doing it. They thought before the test I had ventricular tachycardia (bad) but it ended up being supra ventricular tachycardia (not as bad). Is that what you do?

That's scary BEG.  Something like that happened to my mom recently. When she got to the ER, her heartbeat was at 170 beats/minute. She is sure it was higher than that before she arrived.   They had to restart her heart a couple of  times (at  least that is  how she explained it). She said she  felt like she was going to die.
