PLEASE READ THIS FIRST – THIS POST IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
The following historical information is for interest only. It should in no way be thought of as medical advice applicable to any other individual.

Common abbreviations used by Trenna in this series:
AF – Atrial Fibrillation – (irregular heart beat that Trenna often got, and eventually was in permanently)
CVI – Cardiovascular Institute (where her cardiologist worked)
CVM – Canningvale Medical (where our GP worked)
C-V – Cardioversion (an electric shock treatment to restore regular heart rhythm)
There are numerous others, some are common medical abbreviations you can Google, others are Trennaisms (which is itself a Trennaism). If you get stuck on one either ask in the Comments section or use the Contact Greg form.
2015 Cardioversions
Continuing the disclosure of Trenna’s stories and records of things medical…
Trenna has quite an interesting story about the personalities in this next cardioversion, and also discloses how much she is charged.
First Cardioversion of 2015
Second Cardioversion of 2015
And here is her report on the second cardioversion of the year, her 7th ever. Towards the end she says she is going to show the rebates to the bill that Australians get from Medicare, and from, for those who have it, private medical insurance – in our case HBF.
She never attached them, but am sure we didn’t have to pay anything – Medicare and HBF covered the total cost.
The Third One of the Year
Trenna describes this one as a “relatively acceptable experience”! Unfortunately, when she gets home there are some ominous signs.
