Dumbest thing I've read in a while.
They might need to start making people fo through a metal detectors before going in.
It's not a school!
Sorry for the Lemmy question, but why is your username red?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An adverse event report sent to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this year details an alleged incident where the woman was shot in the right buttock by her own gun that was activated by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine.
As she was about to enter the machine, the gun was attracted to the powerful magnet inside it and fired off a single round into and through her right buttock.
Luckily, the bullet barely penetrated her skin and the doctor on site described her entry and exit wounds as “very small and superficial.”
And patients are expressly told not to bring anything potentially magnetic like metals into the room to avoid these kinds of incidents.
It isn’t just guns that can be dangerous while next to an MRI—people have gotten seriously hurt and killed by wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, and even metallic butt plugs.
Earlier this January, a Brazilian man died of a gunshot to the stomach triggered by an MRI machine while he was assisting his mother (he reportedly also denied having a weapon beforehand, according to medical staff).
The original article contains 382 words, the summary contains 180 words. Saved 53%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Another responsible gun owner hoisted by their own petard
MRI machine, aka Darwin Accelerator.
Where was it, was it Florida, tell me it was Florida.
