I think I would like to know as it may affect my behavior. For example, I had surgery on my foot a few years ago. While I feel comfortable walking, I may not participate in more high-impact activities like karate if I found out I had a needle (for example) still left in my foot. Maybe my bone has grown around it at this point, but it's still something I need to be mindful of.
And if it were a child, oh please tell me the doctor would have the heart to tell the parent. I just can't imagine how something lodged in a child would change over time.
Fortunately, nobody I know is walking around with medical debris, but from your post, they may be -- but might not have been told.
