The Meaning of Pacemaker

Peter, 

 Just make sure if you have any sort of medical event (hope you don't!), that you are with your colleagues in the professional world and not us!

Peter

Funny, at least the shirt part of the story, Hope your procedure went well!!!

LOL

even tho I'm a Pennsy guy i'd rather have that shirt to wear then need the pacemaker!!

LOL!

I wonder what he would have thought if your shirt had said Smith and Wesson?

Peter, you attended the University of Maryland?  

 

Oh wait ... 

 

 

You set the pace!

Sorry about your TURP- I had a cystoscopy done last fall, thought I lived through a mid-evil torture procedure...

Peter:  Hope everything is flowing once again.  Bob S.

Thanks everyone........

 

Farmer Bill......I did my residency at UMAB in Baltimore eons ago.....79-83.

 

 

Rogerpete.....the cysto wasn't that bad......I would, however,  classify it medieval before the days of fiberoptics, when the scopes were rigid.

Fortunately I don't think that Peter is likely to suffer an MI at work or at York.  But if he was in the middle of a discussion on the merits of the ZW-L and importance of the PT tenders on the S-1b to maintaining the schedule on NB-1 and Peter suddenly became pale and diaphoretic I think within the crowd at Thursday at Ruby Tuesdays there would be a quick transition by a few to an LP-12 and concern for ST elevation.  Pulseless apnea would certainly lead to the rapid location of the sternum, apex and xiphoid process.

 

It is a versatile crowd. 

 

Peter,

  Sent you a separate email.

  Sorry. Did not realize you had surgery. Totally missed that part under your picture.

  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

Tom

Double entendres can be funny or over the top serious. In the case of the NYC Pacemaker, we have a generation that remembers nothing before Federal Express and UPS.

Thanks for the bit of humor!  I'm glad your surgery went well!

Peter, I guess it work both ways, I thought you had a turnip! Glad your feeling better.

In 1969 my father bought a 1965 Pacemaker.  It was 36 feet long, with twin 240 HP Chryslers, and a 6 KW Onan generator.

 

Like this one except for the colors:

If I saw you wearing that at a gym, I would think of trains yes, but people often wear clothing with the thought of double meaning. Your shirt can often create conversations as to what it means as what happened in your case Peter.

 

By the way I wish you all the best for continued recovery from your recent surgery.

 

Jon

Don't mess with Peter?

Peter,

I hope your surgery went well and that you have recuperated, by now.

Your shirt is great and is the first that I have seen.

Where did you get it?

Stay Well,

Ralph 

I'm sorry, maybe I'm not supposed to ask, but what is a TURP?

That's really funny, Peter, but I can filly understand how the uninitiated would mix this up.

Have a few older friends, a "in thru the out" to the bladder, etc. IIRC.

Glad to hear Peter is recovering.

Peter.   Have a fast heal and a complete recovery.

We are getting to a point in life where many of us will also need the "Rotor Rooter" procedure. I cringe when I think about having my plumbing fixed, but its better than the alternative! BTW, nice shirt!  The Eastern railroads were really colorful and had character back in the day.

Thanks, everyone........

 

I got the shirt from the shirt vendor at York....he used to be in Brown but took over Marty's space in Orange.

 

Dennis......TURP is transurethral resection of the protrate.

 

I am completely mended....when i started working 30 years ago, a TURP was 4 days in the hospital, a catheter for 5-7 days and 4 weeks off. Now, with the technological advances, I was in the OR at 0730 and home at 1015. Catheter stayed in for 24 hrs and I was back to work half days, the following Monday (6 days).

 

Peter

Yikes Peter (no double intender intended), so that's what it is.   So far my plumbing is working fine with drugs: Proscar and Flomax.  Only problem with that is my eyes won't dilate when I go to the eye doctor.
