medtronic

After having the defibrillator I have to agree the actual pain level is very low as a matter of fact I was given oxi's and haven't needed to use them. My defibrillator is made by the medtronic which from what I see it's very common company here. I do have one question it's been ten days since the operation and I still have the patch on how much longer till they remove the patch ?

I've been catching up on my reading of the posts and noticed that you didn't get a reply:(

I had a pacemaker but I'm sure the patch (I'm assuming you mean the gauze cover/bandage) should have been taken off by now.

If it hasn't, just go to your family doctor and they should be able to take care of it for you.

Thank you Pookie

I took your advise and called the doctor. He told me that "patch " can come off anytime now but it would be better if I allowed the shower to help loosen it than to try and pull it off so it's been gone 4 days now.

You know you're wired when...

A thirty-day guarantee is not good enough.

Just because you have a device doesn't mean you are damaged goods and can't do anything worthwhile and have to lie down and die. In fact, you're better and stronger. You're bionic!
