WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney will have a new internal heart defibrillator implanted on Saturday morning because the battery needs replacing, his office said on Friday.After Cheney's annual checkup last month, his doctors advised him to have the implanted cardioverter defibrillator replaced because the battery was nearing the point it would have to be replaced. His office has said the device was functioning properly and had not treated any abnormal heart beats.
"On Saturday morning, the Vice President will have a scheduled visit with his doctors at George Washington University Hospital at which time his ICD will be replaced," his spokeswoman Megan McGinn said.

God Bless VP Cheney.
So, last week it was GW. This week it is DC. I wonder if they are getting the latest version of the implants that allow the aliens to control them more effectively. Space Aliens, not illegal aliens. But then again, wouldn’t the space aliens be illegal as well.
The problem with the conspiraces is they become so complicated....
Does that mean Pelosi will be VP while he is out?
I hope not. Of course, she already acts as if she is President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of State.
Prayers up!
A different story about this. Whom to believe?

My sister-in-law is a R.N. hospice nurse. She said if you happen to be touching a person with one of these when it activates, you WILL get zapped. Apparently it’s just like the thing with the paddles where they yell, “clear”.
If you are in contact with them, you will long remember the day.
I can just guess what DU and dailymoonbatkos has to say about this.....
Will President Bush temporarily become Vice President while Cheney is under the knife, just to return the favor?
Actually, the current delivered is much less than traditional defib paddles, especially in initial jolts. The ICD device has wires that attach directly to the heart, so it is far more efficient of a charge delivery system that external paddles that must deliver the charge through skin, cavity lining, etc.
I'm not denying an ICD discharge would result in an external shock, but I'm clarifying how it relates to external systems.. ..
