THE PACEMAKER WAS INVENTED IN 1950 AT TORONTO GENERAl HOSPITAL BY JOHN HOPPS CANADIAN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. I LIVED IN TORONTO THEN. WENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL THERE AND I WAS NINE YEARS OLD AND WORE A UNIFORM. NOW I HAVE MY OWN PACEMAKER WHICH IS FUNCTIONING VERY WELL. CHEERS. HAPPY CANADA DAY TO-MORROW

Wow!
He also worked on it with 2 others, one being Dr. J. C. Callaghan who did my heart surgery in 1958 at the University Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta.

I feel full circle now.....

Happy Canada Day!
