## I'm not a doctor but I do know there are a lot of folks doing just
fine with bullets in them. I myself had some gravel encysted under the
skin for years with no problems except it was right where my belt rubbed
and sometimes became sore. A doctor looked at it once and tried to charge
me $80 for a lousy opinion. Guess who didn't get a dime. I finally hacked
it out with a razer blade about 15 years later.
Stainless steel has a fair amount of nickel and sometimes a bit of
chromium in it but nickel and chrome is really pretty stable stuff. Unless
he's allergic to nickel, there shouldn't be any problem. If his white cell
count stays high, that's where I'd look.
Don't they use a titanium alloy nowadays?

Dear Ken,
Is this true for the stainless steel rod they put into my son`s broken leg
last December? I worry about all that metal in his body.
He was in a car crash, got t-boned. The docs went in through the knee joint
and slid the rod inside the tibia.
(My poor baby...)
