Should someone who has a pacemaker wear a med.iden. bracelet? If they were stretched out, with a suspected heart attack, should one use a medical debilitator on them?

I think you mean defibrillator.

nohorn.

Let me put it simply:

If someone needs de-fibrillating it means that they are in ventricular fibrillation which is life threatening.

Whether or not they have a pacemaker is immaterial........without de-fibrillation....the are DEAD.

About the bracelet......might be a good idea.
