You and your: Insurer paid a bundle to have this electrophysiologic obliteration of a focus causing abnormal rhythms. Wait until tomorrow, but call or even show up at his/her office telling them what you wrote. Sure, it could get better, it could get worse, but you deserve attention, so give them the opportunity to make it right...Now.
