This little thing saved my life
Saturday lying in my recliner and my most important decision at the time take a nap or get up and lie in bed instead. I know tough life. Then I thought I was dying of a stroke. One bam then a second one even harder. Most people that have these things feel it in their chest when it goes off not me it went to my head. One of my cardiologists said sometimes it feels that way. Said we wouldn't be talking if I hadn't had the device.Scared the living **** out of me because I didn't feel it in my chest so I didnt think it was the icd. God dam it I was going to out live that manson piece of shit!!! |

I have no idea what that thing is, but it seems like it could come in handy.

It is an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator . Think micro version of paddles.

Spam for implantable cardioverter defibrillators! Mods please delete!
J/K. Glad that you have the device and survived the event. Might help if you weren't getting all that 2nd hand smoke from your avy. Hope we go a long time w/o having to rename the lounge. |

A couple of years ago they tested it I felt my chest being shocked but this time went to my head. Good thing I have a hard head.

Hope that thing doesn't give you a shock just because it is in a bad mood and just feels like it.

Can that be hooked up to my scrotum if I need a jump-start?
