It’s the sort of injury that will make you suspicious of sex toys for a long time. The internet has caught wind of a resurfaced story involving a young woman who was sent to the hospital after she underwent a MRI scan while having an apparently metallic butt plug inside herself.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted. Though an ambulance did take her to a hospital afterward, the patient’s ultimate fate is unknown.

She probably was in the hospital before that for the MRT. I don't think they have such a machine in normal clinics since its so expensive.

most mri machines are not at hospitals but privately owned office fronts. i work for a mri company that has about 200 mri machines in office complexes threw out America.

Some Imaging Centers are located separately from hospitals. You have to goto a different location than where you went for MRI if something like this happens.
