Apparently the people at SIU Clinics thought there was enough magnetic metal in
the thing to be a problem. The "smoking hole in (my) chest" was a quote from my
doctor. And I am sure those big magnets would not do the delicate electronics
in the device a world of good. I remember, back in the day, when nearly every
public food venue had a prominent warning sign "CAUTION: MICROWAVE OVEN IN
USE!" to warn those with the early pacemakers to stay back lest there be a
problem. Mine isn't that sensitive ... but, still - I'd not want to subject it
to huge EMP radiation.

I think it averages three to four years between my trips to the CAT scanner.
About the same for the X-rays. I'm 71 and know that something is gonna get me
in the end. But, I don't tempt fate.
