Did you know diarrhea is hereditary? It runs in your jeans!

You are almost completely correct. It does have wireless charging but like your cell phone eventually the life of a rechargeable battery wears and needs to be replaced.

That you are wrong about the last part. Our latest two generations actually use ipads for the doctors and iphones for the patient. I don't know too much about the security on them as that's my area of knowledge. That said unlike a pacemaker our devices don't keep people alive. They lessen movement disorders and reduce pain but people won't die if they get turned off.

The company I work for makes similar devices. We make spinal chord stimulators https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator and deep brain stimulators https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation

The change in people is amazing. That said your estimate is not far off for cost of just the implantable generators, plus the leads. Add on cost of surgery and doctors bills and hospital stays and your probably under estimating.

Not to mention typically it's the last choice for pain treatment, so it's a the end of typically years of pain. Also it only lasts for about a dacade due to the battery so you will need to repeat the surgery and buy a new device periodically.

Next week we will off high heels camp!

I think a boot camp would be really useful for cobblers

Yeah but it didn't answer the question of "can you connect them?".

Others in this thread have said yes but chat gpt ignored the question and replied with a description of the question. It's easy for a model like this to determine what a model name means(it seems complicated to humans but there is a logic to their naming).

And then the splat makes you question your life choices...
