D: "pacer"; ?T: "pacemaker"-sm - je suis MT


Posted: Apr 01, 2010

"Pacer" sounds like slang/abbreviation, but can't find this in BOS or other references. Anyone know an "official" ruling on this? Thanks:)

pacer - 1mt

I work for several different cardiologists and electrophysiologists and they refer to the pacemaker both ways - pacer or pacemaker. I type whatever they say and have never been told to change "pacer" to pacemaker.

Thanks for the input-nm - je suis MT
