| Description: | Cardiac Pace-setter An electric pace-setter (pace-maker, pacemaker) frees a cardiac case from the near disability of an intermittent heart interruption. The portable pocket-size device, wired directly to the vital organ, will sting the patient's heart back to life whenever it stops beating. Late middle aged male patient shows off this new medical technology. Outside Montefiore Hospital, press photographers take pictures of him and the device. | |
