Oh come on. We've all had that chest pain call where a therapeutic 12 lead resolved the patient's complaint (AKA we removed the offending Dorito).

I had a 90'sY/O lady once, who happened to have had an AICD placed back in the stone age. We got called for a fall...and I noticed quite a largely swollen area under her L shoulder. Not knowing she had the device, I made the mistake of saying "Ooooooh that's not good."
