striebs quickly quoth:


I have an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator) in my chest and was
told that Mig welding was OK . My machine is about 150amps , I don't
use it that often but have been back for check ups a number of times and
the ICD is functioning fine (and it has not had any reason to discharge
thankfully ) .

If I remember correctly the cardiologist said that stick welders or
Tigs generated too much interference .

I wonder if something like a well-grounded suit of chain mail would
disperse it. That would be a bit like putting your body in a Faraday
cage, wot?

Congrats on your benefits from a working healthcare system.
