Does anyone know if John Kerry had a CAT scan this past summer when he was surfing in Nantucket?

Kerry underwent surgery for a cancerous prostate in February, but he returned to the campaign trail within weeks with a clean bill of health from his doctors.

Does anyone know if Kerry has shrapnel in his body?

See where I'm going?

Shrapnel?

On the Bob Grant radio show on WOR in NY, I heard that Kerry passes through airport metal detectors without setting off the alarm.

Can anyone confirm?

Kerry's thigh has shrapnel, records show(Kerry campaign removes 20 pages of documents from website)

Someone mentioned on another thread that if one were to have any metal in one's body (presuming that the shrapnel spoken about IS metal - though I don't know if non-metal debris would be called shrapnel), you cannot undergo an MRI procedure. Kerry has undergone at least one MRI reported in the press...
The New York Sun March 30, 2004 Tuesday In a conference call with reporters yesterday, Mr. Kerry's surgeon, Bertram Zarins, said the senator has a partial tear of the subscapularis tendon in his rotator cuff. Dr. Zarins said the injury stemmed from a mishap in January on the Kerry campaign bus in Iowa.

"The senator was walking down the aisle and the bus suddenly lurched. Senator Kerry grabbed a railing and wrenched his shoulder," Dr. Zarins said. Mr. Kerry later complained of shoulder pain. In February, he underwent an MRI test that revealed the tear.

Dr. Zarins said he and Mr. Kerry initially opted for a wait-and-see approach regarding the shoulder, hoping that the pain would abate. It did not.
