    Most interesting. Question: is removal of this device, and not using any device a consideration?

      To expand: if I were Tom I think I’d be saying get this device out…

          Thanks. Can’t wait! This episode seemed to confirm my fears of modern medicine…it is hard to avoid being drawn into the rabbit hole of excessive testing and interventions….notwithstanding the awesome power to fix/cure when judiciously applied.
