Well, before I came to work in my prsent job writing programming tools for programmers to program with, I spent nearly a decade helping design hemodynamic patient monitors for Cath Labs, Telemetry systems for Cardiac Rehab, data transport mechanisms for Pacemakers, and Holter systems for cardiac patients (now being used in the Space Program, oddly enough)...

But, I don't do that any more. I kinda miss it though. The only saving grace is that I know the technology will be there when I have my major cardiac event down the road ;0)

Heh, heh...Wonder if I ever wore one of your designs...was hooked up to Holter Event system or whatever they call it for a while. Forget what I had, but the Holter recorded irregular blips from time to time. Dr. put me on medication and I went downhill very quickly, according to Holter report and the way I felt. My primary dr. sent me to another cardiologist who said I was not only on the wrong medication but at levels way too high even if it was the correct medication. Had to taper off and get on correct med and then taper off that, too. Feel fine now, heartwise, unless I read a Maureen Dowd column or something like that!
