We are all picking up bits and pieces from each other the hard way, so thanks to all on the site. I would like to know several things - is an 'interrogation' just a pacemaker check or what?- how does your pm phone in its situation on what has been happening since last reading? can anyone have that or is just particular models this applies to? when the report arrives in your hot little hand from letterbox or email is it sent by your cardieman?

My cardieman who checks mine will tell me nothing. I spoke with medtronic and was told- I am entitled to be told what has been happening, what changes they make and what they expect to happen and I will insist on this in future along with printout in keeping with 'freedom of info'. If I want to know more at the moment I have to make an appointment for a consultation, goes 3 hrs in a train, stay overnight at a motel, have the appointment, stay overnight at a motel again and train it home, along with various taxies along the way.

I am going to talk with Medtronic again and see if we can come up with a better arrangement.

Thanks for your help. I will put another entry in about my flecainide experiences, mt
