[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 978633, member: 55568"] It's was a hospital aquired infection. Originally on the surface of the skin but then started to get inside the wound. There are about 2500 to 3000 per month in the NHS. Most are not serious and easily treated but as an ICD has electrical leads which go up the veins and into the heart, they don't want to run the risk of the infection travelling along them and getting into the heart itself. So, they play it safe, take it out, give you masses of antibiotics and, when you are totally clear, put it in on the other side. Anyway, I have twin matching scars now, one on each shoulder. :) [/QUOTE]
