Midland, Ontario, man first Canadian to receive wireless heart monitor

Walking around Zellers may not seem like an extraordinary venture, but for George Woods, being able to circle the store with only his cane is cause for celebration. After nearly 15 years of poor health due to heart problems, the 73-year-old Midland resident says he's feeling better than ever after being the first person in Canada to receive a cardiac device that remotely monitors and checks heart patients. George underwent the one-hour operation to surgically implant the new Vision 3D™ wireless at Newmarket's Southlake Regional Health Centre - Simcoe.com
