When cars failed due to high field strengths from broadcast transmitters, there was a very public outcry. I didn't hear of any outcry about medical equipment problems, presumably because the public almost never get to hear of them. There was a case in UK a few years ago about faulty oxygen equipment (not an electronics problem) causing several deaths, but such cases are very rarely reported. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
