*shrug* Actually, I'd vote to give him an MRI (or at least some kind of imaging of his leg)

Just because he's nuttier than squirrel poop in the Planter's factory, it doesn't mean that he's lying about the pain. There really might be something wrong with the leg. Doubtful it's a satellite controlled chip, but that doesn't rule out something like injury or tumor or whatever.

Xray would be pretty trivial, and metal would show right up

And it just occurred to me that the whole time I've followed this thread I've been assuming it was a "her".  Interesting.

At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Maybe convince him that the satellite is being controlled by someone he trusts, and they've promised to never use it.  Trying to talk him out of the delusion is a long, uphill battle, and odds are it's unwinnable.  Making it a benign delusion would do wonders for his peace of mind, seems to me.

How dare you gender assign someone who has clearly been assigned by the satellite...
