Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I would never be comfortable with this. This is the kind of stuff dystopian future novels are made of.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I have a chip that allowed medical personnel to ID me. Handy when one is unconscious.

Was anything else on the chip besides ID? Who implanted the chip? Was it voluntary?

Our dogs are always chipped with our name/address/phone.

Chipping is an extreme measure for such a rudimentary device. Like, that would be okay if you were in a high level military operation or you were search and rescue and they needed to keep really good track of you in an adverse environment. For most applications, I think you could stick to maybe a tiny wrist band or an ID card, rather than an implant.

I don't know if anything else was on it, just the ability to access my medical file quickly when needed. Small star tatooed on my right forearm to tell them where it is. The implantation was done by a third party firm hired by the US government. I did okay the work, it was not mandatory. 

I had the chip tested by a local vet. He couldn't detect it at more than a few inches.

An employer? Fuck no! Maybe if I was a top class spy or an aid worker in war-torn/dangerous countries but I'm an analyst. The worst that's going to happen to me is that someone will claim that my risk assessments are awry.

They'd be wrong.

I chipped about 300 dogs when I was with the adoption group in Knoxville using the Avid microchip product. I'm telling you right now that I don't want to be stuck with one of those monster fucking 12 gauge needles.

would the chip be capable of stimulating my pleasure center ?

Meh. As long as I could verify what was accessible, I would probably do it.

Not much different than carrying a NFC card in my wallet wherever I go.
