ive worn a 30 day heart monitor which showed i have tachycardia, bradycardia, pvc's, pac's svt & paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.  i faint chronically, occasional non-epileptic seizures, ive had 8 heart attacks & a tia/ mini-stroke,  i also have sick sinus syndrome, mvp, 3 of my heart valves are regurgitating & my heart is on an axial rotation (twisted) & dislocated.  ive been told i need an ICD urgently, but no doctor is willing to do it due to my lack of health insurance.  
i moved to the usa from australia to try to get medical help.  any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi...

You are going through alot, I will keep you in my prayers. I would try your local social services agency and try to get some type of medicaid or medicare or sometimes they have ins just for certain surgeries you made need.

I would for sure check that out or call the United Way the number is 211 on your phone. It may be differant in NY. But they will help you find what you need too.

I'm in the medical field so i know about different agencies.

Be blessed,

Tara :)

Check to see if there is a local community hospital.  They generally provide services to all patients, and may base fees on a sliding scale.
