I'm not talking about the failure of the device, I'm talking about the dangers of a MRI magnet ripping the metal out of your body. These are very real dangers for nearly all pacemakers, with the exception of those that are being developed now and some that are implanted extremely recently. But most of the pacemakers in use around the world were not installed today. No surgeon should be casually dismissing these risks to a patient without getting any extra information at all.
