has GOT to be Tungsten!
Yep! I just got a bill (my insurance will cover it) for a piece of tungsten approximately one and a half centimeters long (doubled into a clip) and, close as I could guesstimate from seeing it, about 16 gauge. At this moment, I have it on me... well.... IN me to be precise.
You see, about a month ago, I had a biopsy of "Ernie", my right *cough* chestal appurtenance. (.)(.) Charlie, the left one, wasn't involved. You see... the (NON-cancerous! Relax!) lump was about the size of a popcorn kernel, hard to find, etc, and so they localized it with a tiny wire clip! maybe the size of a grain of rice... made out of pure Tungsten.
The bill reads: 04/03/19... A4649... Clip for Biopsy......$211.00
YEOWTCH!! Talk about your ROI! While it wasn't the most expensive part of the procedure (which was $4,169.00 billed to my insurance) that teensy lil rice grain wire is pretty doggone SPENDY!
So yeah, my surgery date (to yank out the popcorn kernel (Again, NON-Cancerous!) is June 5th. And you bet your sweet BIPPY, I'm askin them to save me that @#$!! WIRE! It goes in my finds bag!!
