Medical equipment reps often play a pretty active role in patient care. Can't get in touch with a rep to put a device into its MRI safe mode? No MRI for you. Can't get a rep in to help the surgeon with the type in hardware they were going to install? No surgery for you.

People's AICDs aren't going to start exploding, but I'm pretty confident this will hamper care for many patients.
