Exaggeration for effect. As I have metal in my heart as well,
I did some reading, and the worst I have read about has been
a warning of a possible movement in the range of a millimeter,
with not enough force to tear tissue but possibly enough to
cause other kinds of trouble due to misalignment.

That's possible, as a millimeter's motion in a microwired
device could be way too much.

 DD> Now I just get the openwork CAT scans.

Do bear in mind that your average CAT scan gives you as
much radiation as 100 ordinary X-rays.
