Ray, you have brought to mind listening to my mams heart..or rather her mechanical pacemaker.. if you sat close to her you could hear it clicking.

Maybe a little inappropriate... but funny...
But when my mam was very close to death, in the hospice, I got quite worried, as I had it in my head that as her heart was slowing down her pacemaker would kick in and bring her back to life again...
I kept getting this picture in my head of her jumping up and saying hahah fooled you..im going to live forever cos my heart cant stop.!!
I actually talked to the doc and and asked him.
He smiled and tried hard to stifle a laugh and said no don't worry they don't work quite like that!!

When I was in Southampton last year having my bypass a friend from many years before was also in after he had collapsed and they had to restart his heart five times. They had fitted him with a temporary pacemaker and he was jumping up and down and acting jittery. It turned out that the nurse at the main desk had a remote link to it and was fiddling with the settings.

so that story the other day about a guy saying it is possible "hack" into a pacemaker and kill someone could well be true?

Basically, yes. You'd need to be fairly close but it is possible.

That's your watch you can hear you fool. They got you mixed up with the other patient who was having their ears syringed.

I don't Know !! you couldn't be bothered wishing me well in my hour of need, and now you are making light of things

[Dennis The Menace]

Blimey Ray, you gave me a hell of a shock reading this thread.

I mean, Ray Scully has a heart !?!

Glad to hear you're still ticking Raymond

[Stephen]

Ray

Ray. If you've only got an hour left what's the point.

And stop going on about 'ticking' or you'll have the ordnance bods banging on your door before you can say Hurt Locker

[Quizzical Bob]

It's like bomb disposal. It's when the ticking stops that you need to start worrying.

... as long as nothing goes boom and bursts out through the rib cage (a-la Alien) then nothing for rest of us to worry about

Remind me never to look for any sympathy on here!

[Stephen]

You think this is bad. You should have been in the workshop where I worked many moons ago. Sympathy was classed as a swear word.

Survival of the fittest in the olden days. Not like now, break a nail and the world has ended







Get well soon Ray

[Gill W]

I know I'm a bit late, but glad all is well
