Your gonna be in BIG trouble if you suddenly yell, “Touchdown!” at the wrong moment!...................

I’ve got an implanted pulse generator (it trips up the pain signals to the brain). It’s based on pacemaker technology, but we’re not too far from insulin implants for diabetics. That would go a LONG way to improving their health.

How is the implant working, is it controlling your pain? My Doctor wants me to trial this.

What if I bring the big foam finger?
(probably should bring expensive warm beer & nachos first)

Can you program the number of the beast into it?

"Let's go test it out!!".

TMI

Or, in case it's not TMI, Here:

Laotzu 'n Mrs. coyly enter seperate, but adjacent orgasmitrons. Lights flash, motors whirr, then some strange gurgling noises.

Linked by their Blue-Tooth Wi-Fi subcutaneous devices, they have achieved communication without connection!

Very neat.

Do people with joint implants get a card? What happens if you lose the card, have a fake hip, and have to go through a metal detector?

So when somebody hacks this from a computer, what happens to the person?

Computers aren't very sharp, so you'd probably bruise it more that you'd hack it. I'd guess somebody would probably try to hack into it with an axe, meat cleaver, or other sharp blade. If that were the case, the person would probably bleed profusely.

Post-modernist safe sex?!!!

"Oh, baby!! Ya know, if you had a Macintosh......"

[laotzu]

...what happens to the person?

It'll cost you $4.99/minute.

It sounds great until you realize it will be outdated technology a year after you get it. Back to the operating room!

I've had my permanent IPG (made by ABS) in for a year. It's on continuously. I have a nighttime setting that's extremely light and a daytime program.

It is PRICELESS to me. It works best for areas other than the lower back (we couldn't get good coverage with a tripole and it's the hardest spot to cover). Mine is wired for both my feet. The "tingling" sensation is something you'll get used to and adapt. My rate of success is 70-80% and I'm very happy.

If you want more info please feel free to FReemail me. I can tell you more about what to expect from the trial.

I don't have a joint replacement but I do have a card. I've only been asked for it once and they really didn't look at it. If you lose the card I'm sure you can get a replacement. In a pinch, just tell the screener that "I've got a hip/joint replacement, where it is and they'll wand you. They'll offer you a private area to be screened and I've been treated very well.

They probably see a lot of this and will see more as implants become more and more common.
