It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs.
