doh, I told just about everyone this 
well it seems that my brother(Seeker) has Tachycardia. which means his heart is reaching 100+ beats per min
we found out about it 3 months ago when Seeker got his road bike (GEI bike) and started exercising. well he started to complain of chest pains and one day he got hit really hard in the early morning. so my mom (A Registered Nurse) thought it was about time for him to see a doctor. we found out it was, well Tachycardia.
Tachycardia in my brother's case is that two of his "power lines" that provide the heart with the jolt of electricity to make the left ventrcal beat have grow to be crossed. this causes a Double Beat.
it just makes you damn ill at first, but after a few years it can damage the heart becasue the right ventrical becomes over stressed and becomes over filled with blood. damaging the Ventrical and also the valves.
Today is his procedure (sounds better than surgery )
what they are goint to do is going to stick a cathader (a tube like an IV) from the artery on the inside of his left leg near his groin.
they are going to go up to his heart and make a little snip snip and cut the two crossed lines
the complication that could happen (I hope to <insert deity> that it won't happen) is if the "power lines" stop working his heart will stop in which they will have to crack him open and put in a pace maker.
but the chances are slim on that.
he should be out of the hospital by the end of the day. with only a small hole in his leg and the lack of some pubic hair
I'll give you a status update when I can
