 Things *not* to have near your pacemaker



Here's an interesting link to a PDF by Medtronic of  interference guidelines and pacemakers.  I have a Boston Insignia model pacer, but the guidelines are essentially the same. Most things are pretty common sense, and modern pacemakers are so well shielded that even things like microwaves aren't the issue that they used to be.
But chainsaws? Really? Definitely didn't know those were a no-no.
