what's the difference between this new machine and those that heart
patients wear that monitor and issue shocks to their heart any time it
determines there's irregular heartbeats? those have been in use for quite a
few years now... no, i'm not talking about the heart pumps or replacement
hearts but those devices that microwave ovens always warn heart folk to
stay away from because it may induce problems with their embedded
machine...

now, back to the pancreatic device... where the heck was this info during
the time that my mother had a cancerous growth crushing her ducts between
her pancrease and her liver? she barely made it the year the docs gave her
and this after 3 months of no (repeat *NO*) cancerous cell counts in her
blood tests but when it came back, it came back in 3's and totally took her
from us... that was only a few months ago :( :? :? :?
