My grandma had her pacemaker put in August 2004. The first one failed in the recovery room and they wouldn’t tell us the make and model. They rushed her back to surgery to replace it. We have dealt with forged medical reports, ignorance from the company etc. In February 2005, my dad went to pick up grandma (his mother in law) to take her for her pacemaker check. She didn’t answer the door so he let himself in with our key and found her in full cardiac arrest in the middle of her dining room floor. She was pronounced dead 40 minutes later and the paramedics & ER doctor both said that the pacemaker was not working at the time. She was a very vibrant woman with so much love. It has been an agonizing 2 1/2 years trying to get this company to publish all it’s recalls and admit to the product liability.

The last words my grandma and I exchanged were I love you’s and for that I will always be grateful. I have google alerts set to pick up anything Guidant or Boston scientific which is how I happened on this post.

I have met several people that have lost a loved one due to this company including someone whose 1 year told granddaughter died in her arms and another whose 8 year old son was watching cartoons and died on the couch.

This company is a monster so please excuse me if my post came off a little sensitive or over the top.
