Just had to share this.

I saw my EP's PA at Duke yesterday--just a return visit to check on the tweaks to my settings done a couple of months ago. 

Before she put the donut over the pacemaker she asked, "May I have a look at your pacemaker, please?"

"Sure," I said, pulling down the neckline of my sweater to expose the area just below my collarbone, "but why? Nobody ever asked me to show them my pacemake before."

"Oh,"she said. "One time I was doing an interrogation and I had a patient whose pacemaker was actually sticking out through the skin of her chest. She hadn't said a word about any problem with it. Since then I always look."

BTW the new tweaks have helped a lot. As your condition changes, sometimes your settings need to change.
