Doctor Tagged With RFID Worries About Privacy

"An A&E doctor and CIO who has had an RFID tag implanted into his arm on which his medical reference number is encoded has expressed concerns about lack of privacy standards and erosion of his anonymity. John Halamka, chief information officer at Harvard Medical School, had the VeriChip tag encased in an unbreakable glass capsule and implanted in his arm at the end of last year. The chip contains a code that can be inputted into a website, where his medical records and GP contact details can be found." Source: e-health-insider.com
