What is wrong with pacemakers that they can't make one that functions
around radios and microwaves?

Lack of space for installing the faraday cage.

Pacemakers DO function around radios and microwaves.

Lol! Devices that have to work should be designed to work properly in
the very low level fields that occur in every day life. It's not really
hard. There are any number of engineers who can do that.

According to the article, they ARE designed to work properly in the
very low level fields that occur in everyday life and the biggest risks
are from medical equipment.

Your reference contradicts what you say. Are MP3 players "medical"
equipment? I think they are every day devices. If I read the reasoning
correctly, I'd bet holding an old style telephone receiver to your chest
(commonly done to mute it when you are calling for someone to get the
phone) puts a pacemaker patient at risk too. That's the sort of thing
that happens automatically without thinking.


Here's the list from your reference. Notice that even MP3 players with
earbuds are a risk!

I read the article; there was no reason for you to copy it.

Then why do you continue to contradict it?


Here's another article with numbers in it:
