Hi all,
I'm currently looking to get referred to Dr Ernst at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
Whilst well-controlled with 100mg BID Flecainide (1 or 2 hours AF burden per year for the last 8 years), this isn't a drug I want to remain on indefinitely (now aged 55) not least given its tendency to lose efficacy over time for most.
My primary concern is that if I have an ablation with Dr. Ernst will it actually be her who undertakes the procedure or one of her assistants/registrars. As such, my question is to any others here in the UK who've seen Dr. Ernst as NHS patients, has it been Dr Ernst herself who has undertaken your procedure or did she 'just' oversee it.
Any input from anyone here who has been treated by Dr Ernst on the NHS here in the UK would be greatly appreciated.
Best to all,
Mike
