Someone said that there's an immutable link, that a professional must still interpret the data that my ICD uploads. Correct.

BTW, ticker, think a firmware update is strange? Imagine hearing beeping coming from your chest (in a facility where, let's just say, random things shouldn't be beeping). Then getting defibbed 2x in 30 seconds, and 2 more times in the E.R. before they can shut the thing off. Faulty lead. Now you know how I spent July 6.

But...wireless comms from an ICD are hardly "new" or "revolutionary." But my fiancee still dreams of being able to hack my device just to make it beep (or so she says).]]>Aug 12th 2009 9:34AM<![CDATA[Comments on World's first 'wireless' pacemaker talks to your doctor daily, whether you like it or not (though you probably do)]]>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/worlds-first-wireless-pacemaker-talks-to-your-doctor-daily-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/worlds-first-wireless-pacemaker-talks-to-your-doctor-daily-w/Aug 11th 2009 9:15PM<![CDATA[Comments on World's first 'wireless' pacemaker talks to your doctor daily, whether you like it or not (though you probably do)]]>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/worlds-first-wireless-pacemaker-talks-to-your-doctor-daily-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/worlds-first-wireless-pacemaker-talks-to-your-doctor-daily-w/
