I like to tell owners of pacemakers or IUDs that they are cyborgs.

Pacemaker owners are usually jazzed about it, but your average woman doesn’t want to be labeled a cyborg for technically having implanted technology…

Shame, I’m enthused to be labeled as such, woth only an IUD.

    You know the low battery "beep" that smoke alarms make? Internal defibrillators also do that when their battery is low. Apparently it's extremely effective at getting patients to come back in for a battery change.

    Same for everyone with fillings.
