copy of interrrogation report

If you would like,,, I could message you a list of everything on my interrogation report...you can write it all down & take it with you, tell them you need to know what the settings are on the following...It is a long list...
I would do it if I were you, be a thorn & get some answers. They may just give you a copy. =)

What kind of PM does hubby have? If his is different from mine you may need to find someone w/the same type that can tell you what to ask... I am not sure how the different PM's differ.
I have a Medtronic Adapta dual lead.

Good luck, i know it can be hard to get answers.

Report: You pay for it

So you should get one. I have ALWAYS gotten a pacer checkup report from my doctor...without even asking for one. It goes without saying that since you are paying for all this that you should be able to get a report each time, too!!! Every bit of info you get helps you better understand what is, and is not, happening in your now-paced world. Learn all you can so you can trust the pacer to do its job and be able to understand when things are not going right so you can get the adjustments made to better your "quality of life".
You pay for it so why not walk out of the checkup with it?

Be forceful, UK docs think we are all a bit simple and will not understand their answers.

Gary this is UK, yes we do pay for it via the national health service, but our docs rarely give us reports without us paying for them or kicking up a stink!!!
