Going in for a surgery. Up to this point, I’ve not mentioned my magnet implant to any doctors because no one has asked (and it hasn’t been relevant) and I didn’t feel like explaining.

Today while doing my pre op checks, they asked if I have metal anywhere and so I disclosed it. I’ve had to explain it like three times now to different doctors.

Anyone have experience with dealing with this in a way that the doctors don’t think you’re crazy? I’ve been saying I use it in magic performances and that seems to do okay, but curious if anyone else has ideas.

So it's kind of SUPER important to disclose. An MRI would be catastrophic, potentially deadly if they didn't know about it.

I tell people I always wanted to be a cyborg, so I put in a microchip, and that I then wanted to add a new sense to my body, so I put in a magnet.
