Carpenter I know had the ablation done two years ago. He went into emergency with symptoms and he was air ambulanced to Ottawa Heart immediately. Unfortunately in Canada you need to be on death's door before anyone will do something for you. That is socialist medicine from Liberal/NDP idiot governments. Several heart specialist clinics have opened up in Ottawa lately that may get you in earlier. Need a referral from your doctor. These clinics have all the latest detection equipment and stress tests which puts the hospitals to shame, including heart institutes. Google Capital Cardiology. I believe they are linked to US based clinics that do procedures as well. https://capitalcardiology.ca/ Day surgery clinics are being set up by the doctors in these clinics for the simpler heart procedures like ablations, angiograms and stents. Private ones may exist. The doctors in these clinics would know.

I’m sorry for your “out of the blue “ health issues Bernie. Unexpected issues seem to hit us when we age. Sometimes it can be handled “ within a week or 2” other times we wait because shortage of specialists or other reasons ,, the main one being more than 41 million. I thought you told me years ago that you were jumping the normal Canadian line by paying extra. What happened? I know that over a lifetime of personal health issues,, quite a few major ones, our Canadian healthcare system has served my family and I very well. Most Canadians feel the same as I do,,, even most Albertans.
