The only thing that can stop a bad MRI with a gun is a good MRI with a gun.

Sadly this isn't the first time. Years ago I read a story about a man who took his mother to get an MRI. While he was there his gun went off and killed her.

How did she sneak it in though? Usually aren't you wearing a hospital gown at this point?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

No you can have them done in regular clothes. You'll typically only wear a hospital gown if you're staying in the hospital beforehand.

That movie goes hard for a 12 year old boy looking for something to try and be as cool as the matrix.
