How would a metal detector stop it? If you say the metal detector is picking up a piece of shrapnel from an accident while young, how can they really disprove that?

- boomboomsubban 5y agoSure it's possible, but that's asking a lot just to take a test.
- hutzlibu 5y agoI do not think, many people have metal from accidents in their body. So it would be a rare exception.
- karaterobot 5y agoThe same way metal detectors work in other places, like airports: if you set off the detector for a valid medical reason, you should be prepared to show the card your doctor gave you attesting to this fact.
- krisoft 5y agoBecause people who get a doctor to implant something in their ear will have so much trouble getting such a card?
- karaterobot 5y agoImplanted bluetooth devices is an edge case; so much so that it made the news. The normal case is people hiding devices in their clothes. Anyway, I'm not sure whether it's considered unethical to help a patient electively implant a bluetooth receiver in their bodies, but falsely signing a medical release card probably is.
