Going Grimoire

Read this today...Most patients with implantable heart defibrillators are buried with the devices still inside them, stymieing efforts by doctors and companies to retrieve and check the devices for evidence of malfunction, researchers said .. researchers said they do not know the true rate of malfunction because the devices are not routinely checked after death. "... defibrillators are rarely analyzed or returned to the manufacturer after a patient dies, the use of "Device Living Wills," in which patients would specify the destiny of their devices after death, as a means of helping to overcome barriers to routine device removal and analysis, are becoing more popular.
I asked my vices what their destiny was after my death? They corrected me. Devices, not vices, dead/vices moron equals de-vices! Their coming with me.
