Dear wofahulicodoc: You just don't have any patients (or patience) with acardia. Reminds me of Dr. Reginald Smithwick's associate, Dr. Whitelaw telling us about a band of gypsies that had a way of telling competent from incompetent physicians on their travels. They had a comrade
with dextrocardia. If the medic missed that, they went to a different one.
