First of all, I didn't know some of the things about the Watchman that I am now finding out - after I had it implanted. No one told me I have to carry a card and let everyone know I have this device in me....that there are some MRI's I can't have...and I may have to take an antibiotic for dental work, etc. Had no idea. .I wish I had some more education on this before I got it done.

Secondly, I asked if I could get my Covid and blood tests done locally before my next TEE, instead of having to travel 1 1/2 hours to the hospital, where I had the Watchman done.

I asked Express Scripts to move my Eliquis prescription (which was reduced) from the drug store to their 90 day home delivery plan, and the Rep asked me if she should call the doctor who prescribed it. I have no idea who that doctor is (someone from the hospital), and she wanted to know if it was him, another doctor, my cardiologist or who? I'm not even sure who my doctor is for all of this....Dr. Natale in Texas and traveling a good deal of the time?

I asked my pharmacist if I have an occasional headache, is it OK to take an Advil (I am now on 2.5 mg Eliquis twice/day) and a baby aspirin. She said she wouldn't advise it. When I was taking a higher dose of Eliquis, I was told taking one once in a while wasn't a real concern. So what's the deal?

I wish I got $10 ($1 inflation) for each time any doctor in the er insisted to see my pacemaker card to confirm the model and serial number when talking to Metronics. Maybe watchman cards are not as important.
