@muhammadirfan If that were true, wouldn't all pacemaker patients be dead inside of a week? And wouldn't the FDA say 'No more pacemakers....they're killing their patients?' Wouldn't cardiologists, almost all of whom are ethically bound to 'Do no harm,' warn their patients not to touch light switches, toasters, their stove, their electric razor.....you see where this is going.

The name of the device says it all: it 'paces' the heart. It does what the heart needs it to do based on demand. Instead of what he is facing which is probably an 'early' death. His heart needs a crutch to lean on, and they are called pacemakers.

@muhammadirfan I've had a pacemaker for close to 7 years now, and have yet to find an electrical appliance that I couldn't get close to or use normally, with no effects on my pacemaker. I have no restrictions that I know of either. My pacemaker placement was a game-changer, and I am grateful for it every day.

I didn't think I needed it either, but sometimes you just don't realize how bad you felt until after you feel better- in my case getting the pacemaker made that much difference!
