I spent 14 years working for a medical device company before I myself became a defibrillator patient at the age of 40. Now I advocate for and educate other patients so they can live their lives free of device related stress and anxiety. I’ve made these videos to help answer some of the more common questions new and old patients ask from magnets and airport security to how devices and leads work. When I don’t know an answer myself I tap into my network of former colleagues so I can share the most accurate info possible. Even so, please remember I’m not a medical professional giving medical advice, I’m just some guy on the Internet. My hope is that you take the information you learn here to your next appointment so you can have a more knowledgeable discussion with your health care team. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’ll consider subscribing.
