interoperable medicine

Just getting out a a 6 day stint in ICU - despite all good intentions, diet, working out, etc, I ended up with a genetic heart problem that laid me flat. If not for some very fast defibulation by somone who knew how to use a standard interoperable device, it might have been far worse!!! (no further blog entry type of worse).

Trying to figure out the implications later and the meaning now......powerful experience. Check for updates, and get out and get the best preventative care you can!!! Far better to avoid than try to clean up later - not much more important.

  1. Wow Pete. I guess the marathon training couldn't prevent the problem, but it may have helped you survive it, and recover. See you soon.
