Does yours make that awful whining noise when it's transmitting?
I'm not sure I should even tell you this...
The first week I had my event monitor, I was dutifully phoning in the recordings. I never heard anything back and thought that was odd. I thought there would at least be someone calling to give me the "all clear." So I called the cardiac monitoring unit to see what the protocol was for these recordings, who sees them, and what's done with them after they see them.
I was told the data was faxed to my doctor's office after each transmission. So I called my doctor's office (family doc, not cardio). The doc wasn't in, on vacation, but the nurse checked his desk. Nothing. Checked my file. Nada.
So who was seeing my transmissions? Nobody. They had the wrong fax number for my doctor, and had been faxing it somewhere else (pizza place, maybe?) for the week. Needless to say my confidence was a little shaken, but we got that ship righted eventually, and he was able to see all the previous recordings.
And yeah, as a business owner I pay for our coverage, too. Very expensive and the coverage is pretty average.
I still find it weird that you only get a single 90 second recording. Is there any wording, brand name or anything on your monitor?
