This isn’t necessarily relevant to my paper but I just saw this on “House.” Ok… source aside I couldn’t resist looking this up. I wanted to share this in case it may be useful for someone’s paper.
Thanks to the digital age anyone with a pacemaker need only to call in to his doctor’s phone and the pacemaker “talks” to a computer and has the heart rate read. You can be in a third world country and call Duke University or Johns Hopkins or where ever and in seconds be recorded, tracked and diagnosed.
Digitalization has made the medical field a place straight from Sci-Fi. I think this very interesting.

(Of course the spontaneity of being able to look up something that has absolutely no relevance to my life is also cool, and relevant to my paper.)

I can think of lots of people with pacemakers who I would love to have the remote control for.
See if I get Senator Ted Kennedy to tell the truth about Chappaquiddick with his heart racing 120 bpm!
I was going to mention Obama, but then realized he doesnt have a heart! :)
