Retired: Pacemakers and the prostate gland

by Tom Leitch

A couple of years ago a doctor discovered I had a low pulse rate, something like 35-40 ticks a minute. Of course I have low blood pressure and I'm scrawny as well.

So the doctor installed a Pacemaker on my scrawny chest and it sticks out like a headlight on an old Packard. I was given an owner's manual put out by the manufacturer MedTronics.

I went to their website to contact them and make a suggestion. Knowing that MedTronics was in business to make $ I suggested that they come up with another gizmo to repair a defunct prostate.

It's been several months since then and I'm still looking for a reply.
