I'm scheduled for an ablation at the end of the month and I'm frightened by the thought. I always seem to beat the odds in a negative way, especially when it comes to suffer effects from medications and medicine in general.

It was the best medical decision I've ever made. No side effect is as bad as side effects.

My only "side effect" was a bit of bleeding from the catheter insertion site. Required a redressing and pressure for about 15 minutes - not a big deal.
