If someone needs to have an AED used on them the one pad goes on the upper right side of the chest below the collar bone. It would seem to me that it makes more sense to have the battery on the left upper chest. Can the patient ask to have it on the left side instead of the right?

Pacemakers are typically installed on the left. That's what elective implants are typically done on the right. You can certainly ask, though.
