Energy needed to cardiovert unstable patients with a narrow vs wide complex tachycardia.
**American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser
This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.
I hope you'll consider contributing.
Every donation makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer!
