Patrick, I can understand your concern, but Byron's case was probably very unusual.
I didn't post about Byron to cause any concern, but I also want everyone to know all the information they can so they can make a informed decision.
If they test you for all the amiodarone side effects before surgery, there should be no concern.
I don't believe Dr. McCarthy would do surgery on anyone who showed any of the signs of liver or pulmonary toxicity, that Byron evidently had.
I would bring your concerns up to Dr. McCarthy and trust in his judgement after he reviews all your test.
Best wishes, and keep us informed on how things are going.
