Jim: Obviously, anyone with pacemakers who are concerned about them can easily and should contact their own hospitals, surgeons, and the pacemakers manufacturers to find out their status. What one hospital's policy is, is not relevant to other individual cases. Also, they should read C. Houston's post above on this subject. It is obviously quite easy for anyone to find out the status of their own pacemakers with one or a couple of calls.
Also, do you think a hospital will be giving out personal recall information to patients from other hospitals? Think about all this.

I do not want to be responsible for a hospital I may be treated at being bombarded with potentially dozens/scores of who knows what kind of calls of viewers just digging for information who have no real need to know other than curiousity.

I disliked the tone and demands of your posts. If you would have instead CORDIALLY just requested the information for some friends, or better yet, asked me by PM, I would have probably PMed you the name of that hospital, if my contact working there thought it would have been ok.
