Just curious...

I'm pretty new to this site, but, I'm just curious, where is everybody from? I just think it would be interesting to do a roll call type list, for instance, just repond w/your username, state, or country if outside U.S.A., age, & number of devices. I tried looking at the Member List, but, it was very time consuming to look at each one, I guess I'm lazy...

For example, maybe just respond like this...w/myself as an example:

Username: morgysmom (my daughter has an ICD)
State: Oklahoma
Age: my daughter is 15
# of devices: 4
Condition: (optional) - bradycardia and cardiomyopathy

I don't even know if I'm allowed to do this, I hope I don't get in trouble, I just thought it would be interesting to see how many in each state, country, etc. That way, it would be fun to see if it would be possible to have a big get-together!!!

I used the 'member list" and typed in my hometown to connect with two members there, then I widened my search with the major cities in my state and found a dozen more. I wish "state" was one of the categories as it would have saved me a lot of time (and by not having that designation available, anyone from a smaller town would not be listed in such a search).

I applaud your efforts morgysmom, but think this has to be accomplished by the admin folk (and hope it can be sometime). Otherwise you would have a huge listing on this posting, and it would take a bit of time (and space) to scroll through all of the thousands of members (7599 entries to date).

That said, I too, would like to utilize such a data base.

Hi!

My name is Taylor, I am 20 years old and live in Iowa. I have had my pacemaker since I was 15 when I was diagnosed with sick sinus syncope/brady-tachy. I'm still on my first one! I totally understand why you wouldn't want to browse the member list for hours! Have a good one!
