Ah, I see. Sorry, man.

Pardon my ignorance but is there any kind of treatment for that?

Well we've all been given ICDs - implantable cardio defibrillators.

My brother and I were done on the same day, and as the condition and the specific method the ICDs were put in are fairly rare or at least obscure, we both had several medical and I think nursing students observing, and we're probably in several essays

Any of y’all take quinidine?

Not myself, dad, or brother. Not really close enough to uncles or cousins to ask.

I'd guess one of my uncles is, as he had known arrhythmia before the family Brugada was brought to light.

You don't have to asnwer this but is Brugada something you're personally familiar with?

No, not really. I just know a lot about medication.

Having said that though there is a male member of my family who’s been known to have cardiac and hypertensive issues so maybe that’s where some of it comes from. I’ve kind of seen it year in, year out.
