“In 2011, when his physicians determined he needed a pacemaker, Tommy and his doctors selected BIOTRONIK’s Evia SR-T pacemaker with Closed Loop Stimulation and Home Monitoring because it perfectly fits Tommy Lasorda’s health needs and lifestyle.”

Tommy has been selling his heart disease for years and years.

He's still alive?

Yep, because he has a Biotronik pacemaker and it doesn't fail when it's needed, and he doesn't have to worry about it being recalled due to battery drainage!!!!

It might just reset to nominal though without a reason. No one reports that though.

As a fellow BIO rep, I would ask that you just calm down. Everyone of our companies makes a perfectly safe and acceptable pacer. To argue otherwise is splitting hairs about this or that (with maybe the exception of automatic and wireless home monitoring).

Better idea : Find an ICD advocate.
Cheny has a real heart again, so he's off the list of potential advocates.
