I'm a PSR that works in a lab as an EP tech as well. One of the cardiologists said to me the other day that I shouldn't be doing fittings and working for a company that calls shocking somebody out of VT a save that most likely would have self terminated on its own. He said the device is a total scam. He said after 12 years of being on the market they still have no outcomes or clinical evidence of reduction in mortality. Why is that ? He said there is not one other medical device, especially a supposedly life-saving device, that after 12 years on the market has absolutely no studies showing clinical evidence of positive outcomes. The 1%, which is already ridiculously low, of patients that are saved by the lifevest, if you subtract out how many of them were shocked for VT that would've self terminated, and then subtract the patients that were shocked for V fib and didn't live longer than three months after their shock do to end-stage heart failure and pump failure anyway and no defibrillation would keep these people alive long term. It would be eye-opening and Medicare would pull reimbursement within the next six months if they actually look at things closer. Medicare and the commercial insurances will recognize this very soon. I have to fight for my payments for doing PSR work, nothing I send in is right, everybody fights me about everything, and none of my doctors use the lifevest anymore anyway so I don't get much work so F it.
Somebody explain to Aldo what this means. No not the numbers or technical part.....somebody tell him what an EP does. Remember 2 patients at the mall Dr, one wearing the vest and one is not. One patient dies, how do you feel about that? Well Aldo I would have hoped the the patient wearing the vest wouldn't have died! LOL!!! What an asshole!!!!!
