A member asked:
Why is there a waiting list for a pacemaker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Waiting List: There is a need to triage or rank order the needs of patients according to severity. Also, there are not as many skilled surgeons as we would like. You can look into another doctor or hospital. Peace and good health as you get this helpful procedure.
