Default Re: PaceMaker Warnings

Martin - I'm certain that you have the best intentions in your message - however - it's not kind to belittle people's legitimate concerns when either they or loved ones have these devices. Regardless of the strength of the radiation, there may be a possibility of interference. You'll find these warnings on literally every electronic device nowadays. Certainly the potential for interference would be minimal - but it's not non-existant. Microwave ovens have been known to interfere with these devices for a long time even though they are exceptionally well shielded.

To those that are concerned - I urge you to talk with your physician / surgeon or a representative of the company that manufactured your device. Tell them of your concerns and ask their advice. Please don't take the advice of people you do not know or who's credentials are unknown.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
