    Thanks. I did a bit of Dr. Google research (and everything on the internet is true!).

    It seems that surgical clips are usually not magnetic, but it depends on the type and year of manufacture, etc. Mine are several years old. So yeah, I would definitely bring it up if I ever need an MRI. I’m used to doctors acting annoyed and condescending, so what’s one more time?

    Hopefully they don’t perform MRIs on unconscious patients. Nothing in 'Murican healthcare would surprise me.
