CT Scan 3D Model Of Skull Shows Cochlear Devices, Wiring Upon Temples

After knee surgery and an overnight stay at West LA VA Medical Center in May 1999, while that hospital's entire administration was testifying at congressional hearings regarding out of control physicians experimenting on patients without their consent, I hobbled my way out of there not knowing I was leaving with far more parts than I went in with. In 2019 a 400 image CT scan would reveal cochlear implants mounted to my temples, their wiring running up to the apex of my skull. A series of chest xrays revealed, after an accident and visit to an ER, a pacemaker I didn't know I had and, connected to it, a massive induction coil circa 1999, used for the recharging of the pacer's battery. The system overall? A neural data system conceived and engineered by USC Keck and Medtronic. Implanted by VA surgeons.
