30+ years ago SiL got a pacemaker and was concerned about using her new microwave oven. Her cardiologist's advice? "Just stay outside of the oven when it is turned on." Gerry :-)} London, Canada

The old ovens - bad. New ovens - OK.

I've been quite impressed with the medical professionals I've dealt with in the past several months. I was within hours of dead in May, now they keep pushing me toward a more vigorous lifestyle. I'm now walking a brisk hour (3 miles) every day and I expect Dr. B will give me a ration of shit for not doing it with a backpack on snowshoes.

Thinking of renaming him Dr. MdS, Don? My physical therapist (way back when) was named "Mark" and I renamed him "Marquis" in honor of his bedside manner.

I went snorkeling for five different days on Kauai. 5 way bypass, aortic valve replaced, and current 5 cm. aortic aneurysm. Modern medicine is about as advanced as modern welding.

Fellow I used to work with called 'em "physical terrorists".

Its not anything to do with a St Jude device or not. Modern devices have all the sensing done at the tip of the "bipolar" leads. Instead of an antenna 12 inches long it will be 1/2 long. Bipolar leads are made by all implant companies, Medtronics, Guidant, Biotronik etc etc. Sometimes a older style monopolar lead may be used as they are usually thinner ( they only incorporate one wire as opposed to 2 in bipolar).
