An eight-year-old school girl from Bucksburn has been fitted with the world’s smallest pacemaker. As a result, Chloe has been given a chance to get back to a normal life again. She has started swimming again and playing many other forms of sports.
The little girl has become an inspiration to the rest of the family. Her mother is “very proud” of Chloe’s determination. The pacemaker is actually the size of a coin and weighs less than half an ounce.
The device made by Microny SR was inserted through a vein in her armpit. It controls both her heartbeat and blood flow to make sure that everything is working in the appropriate manner.
This is a testament to the amazing nature of the human mind, body and determination. We have been able to find ways to sustain the human body even when what was naturally given to us has failed. The devices can, however, have adverse affects, in some cases causing fatal injury.
Though these devices might save lives, the manufacturers of faulty equipment should be held accountable. If you or someone you know has suffered because of a failed Medtronic pacemaker, call the Medtronic attorneys of the Williams Kherkher law firm at 866.950.9000.
