They Thought She Was Crazy: Doctor Extracts RFID Chip From Sex Trafficking Victim

• http://www.activistpost.com, By Daniel Lang

However, according to a doctor who wished to remain anonymous to protect his patient, that very situation occurred last October and it didn't end how you might expect.

The patient in question was a 28-year-old woman who claimed that she had a GPS tracking device planted in her body. Normally a patient like that would be regarded as crazy, but this woman appeared totally sane, and she had an incision mark on her side. So the doctor decided to check her out anyway. The medical staff at the hospital were stunned when they finally gave her an X-ray.

Embedded in the right side of her flank is a small metallic object only a little bit larger than a grain of rice. But it's there. It's unequivocally there. She has a tracker in her. And no one was speaking for like five seconds — and in a busy ER that's saying something.

It turns out that it wasn't a GPS device, but an RFID chip. "It's used to tag cats and dogs. And someone had tagged her like an animal, like she was somebody's pet that they owned."
