This afternoon I stopped by the local hospital records dept to pick up the results of a routine blood screening. While I was waiting in the familiar office I noticed that the entire wall where I was standing is a main electrical panel for the hospital wing. Being the electronic type I am I took a close look at some of the main circuit breakers. Nothing big...only 400Amp 3 phase or so!
I was about to mention it to the clerk and ask if they had any problem with pacemakers near it, but decided I didn't want to create a major flap. LOL
It would be interesting to ask my cardio if it was OK for me to be around that kind of power equipment before telling him his own hospital is exposing patients to it.

Jessie,
I notice you didn't say who was the old and who was the young engineer. Clever!
Saturday I attended a Celebration of Life ceremony for a close friend of mine who died at 95. I've known him since 1972 as a co-leader of one of those wild personal growth workshops, and a fellow engineer. He is responsible for launching me off on who I am today. He also introduced me to biofeedback and I became a competitor of his.
I last talked to him back in March and we spent over an hour on the phone discussing his latest theory on the brain and how we could measure it. He was still sharp as a tack.
We also often talked about dying and which one of us would beat the other one to it. He won and is likely still laughing.
I'd like to come up with a way of putting a USB connector on the back of our heads so we could download what we have learned before leaving. Just think..if you could Google my brain. NO don't think that..too scary.

that is great frank...lol about who is the young and who is the old. it only matters that we are still here and that we did some good on our journey.i am glad you went to personal growth workshops.my husband did too in california. it had initals bef ore it but i can't remember. lol. it was nice to know your friend was still sharp as a tack. it gives one hope as they say now 50% will develop alzheimers. i do my exercises counting back seven from a hundred every a.m. and a few other ones so i can memorize when they bring me away to some testing room before my life is decided in the wandering unit with the locked doors. you thought i was just a pretty face and now you find that i am wound pretty tight .lolkeep writing your posts i enjoy them. 00 jessie
You know you're wired when...
You can finally prove that you have a heart.

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
Up Late

Aren't you up late, you party animal! I really am surprised you didn't say something right then and there, lol! At least you didn't pass out from the long wait...waiting for records. I always wonder why I get such crazy looks from the admin's when I ask for records for personal use. I was told the last time I requested records that unless they were for another physician they would have to be mailed to me. Seems like another way to keep patients uninformed. Just saying....
