@drjoe_md: Imagine being in the middle of speaking to a judge when suddenly your heart decides to interrupt! 😳⚡️❤️ For people living with dangerous heart rhythm disorders, an implantable defibrillator (ICD) can mean the difference between life and death. These incredible little devices continuously monitor the heart and can deliver a lifesaving shock when a dangerous rhythm is detected. Modern medicine is pretty amazing when you think about it! #HeartHealth #MedicalFacts #EmergencyMedicine #pacemaker
A defibrillator isn’t fun to see going off my dad has one and it has gone off if it really goes off people need to know to not touch the person because you too can get shocked

It's easier to say pacemaker, than all that we all know. He has something in this heart that shocks him. That's all that means🤣... 🥰 i'm surprised the judge that yelled and were saying a bad word. But obviously he was so upset. He was shaking poor guy

People have heard of a pacemaker. Not so for what you described. He used the wrong term.

I was on call for hospice one night. I got a panicked call from a patient's wife. Whoever admitted our patient forgot to ask if he had a implanted defibrillator. He was repeatedly getting shocked. We did not keep magnets in our car supplies. I ended up having her call 911. The wife was traumatized and he died. I tell that to every hospice nurse I train.

My electrocardiologist told me in 2015, when I got my ICD, the same line about it feeling like a kick from a horse. Mine went off in November 2021 and I can confirm the "horse kick" is right on the nose.

I used to have an ICD before I got a heart transplant. The shock hurts a little but it’s more “shocking” than anything. Like being punched in the chest really fast. It sometimes just means your heart rate is higher than the ICD limit is set. It shocked it back into a normal rhythm. It’s definitely easier to say pacemaker than explaining that an ICD is both a pacemaker and defibrillator.

if I was kicked in the chest by a horse I definitely wouldn't have been able to say "im sorry your honor i have a pace maker"

You’re the first ED doctor that I have seen correctly saying ICD rather than AICD. In this case, he might have been shocked inappropriately as he seemingly had no symptoms.
