If the physical, mental and financial cost of collecting data about one’s body falls, more will take advantage of the technology. (Have no fear, I subsequently plugged back in when I felt the double beat and captured the recording that would confirm my doctor’s original diagnosis: benign.) Within a day, I unplugged and immediately felt liberated. (I mean the psychological costs, although my insurance company was billed about $2,200, of which it only paid about $100. The cost proved too high, particularly since I was uncertain that I even needed 24/7 monitoring. These inconveniences were like small physical and psychological co-payments, increasing the cost of the test to me, the patient. I felt tethered to, not freed by, technology. I felt concerned looks whenever the monitor was in plain view. The bulk of the recorder on my belt poked my waist, hampering movement. The wires tickled my torso and puffed out my shirt. With onboard software, it continuously monitored for signs of a heart attack.Īs amazing as this technology is, it wasn’t amazing enough. Electrodes on my chest fed my heart’s rhythm, over wires, to a recorder on my belt, which wirelessly communicated the data to my physician. I'm debating whether I should just go to the ER and get it over with.After the exchange of a few emails, my doctor ordered an at-home, 30-day heart monitor. I don't think I'm gonna make it that long without the medication because I am going through withdrawl symptoms and getting really bad chest pain. Now I am supposed to go until Tuesday without medication.

Unfortunatly, I feel like krap because my pain management doctor wrote the wrong script for my patch to keep my chest pain down. There are still some areas but not as bad as before. I'm just curious what is going to happen in the medical community when the sensitivities start turning into bona-fide allergies like so many are beginning to be to latex?Īs far as mine goes they did get better with benadryl and neopsporin. I do and with both this and the EKG pads they say there is no other options. Just out of curiosity do you get these welts, bumps, and pustules with the tapes and adhesives that they use when anchoring the IV? Glad I brought up the topic! I didn't realize that so many people were sensitive to these adhesives. Failure to do so will result in suspension or termination.
