Figure 1 implant discussion
I'm subscribed to the Figure 1 app, which is where medical professionals post cases that are problematic, unusual, or just interesting for the community (doctors, students, etc) to talk about. It's completely fascinating. If you can get access and like that sort of thing, I recommend it.
I get email notifications for some cases and today's was an x-ray of a man with an rfid implant in his hand. The implant wasn't the reason for needing the x-rays, it was just visible and the doc was so surprised that he posted the picture. I was surprised how many in the Fig 1 community had never heard of it or thought it was the weirdest thing ever. I was a bit surprised since I assumed they've seen much weirder stuff out there.
I'm going to get an x-ray sometime soon to figure out what happened to my xNT. I dropped a box on my hand and the implant has seemingly disappeared. It was already too deep to begin with (went to a piercing studio for it) so now I have no idea where it is. Hopefully my doc will be less baffled.
