With the body piercings, you'll be told to take them out. "Why Climb a Mountain, when you can become one..."

Had an MRI last month and they told me it is only big pieces of metal. I still had my jeans on with 6 metal butons and a small chain attached to it.

any prosthetic devices?
pacemaker or implants?
