[TheForge] Electric welding and pacemakers

[Jim Smith]

My cardiologist says I need a pacemaker.  When my father in law got one he was told he couldn’t use his stick welder anymore.  I think some may now be shielded from electromagnetic radiation.  Anyone have experience with this?

Love “thinketh no evil,” imputes no motive, sees the bright side, puts the best construction on every action. What a delightful state of mind to live in! What a stimulus and benediction even to meet with for a day! To be trusted is to be saved. And if we try to influence or elevate others, we shall soon see that success is in proportion to their belief of our belief in them. For the respect of another is the first restoration of the self-respect a person has lost; our ideal of what they are becomes to them the hope and pattern of what they may become.
