I can hear the accent from here.

Why? You’re a dumbass that wears necklaces into imaging suites that have about 100000 signs saying “no metal.” And there’s an emergency stop button that evacuates all the liquid helium keeping that thing cool and when they hit that button because of a fricking idiot Like this guy it costs around 80-100k to turn the thing back on

Magnetic necklace.
No, but ferromagnetic, which means it has magnetic permeability and will experience a force in the presence of magnets.

I’m sorry but there’s just so much stupidity in this death for me to even comment.

Adrienne Jones-McAllister told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband, Keith McAllister, to help her get off the table.
Somewhere else she added that after she asked the technician to do this she called out to her husband directly which I think is going to be where the husband came in ignoring previous warnings or before technician could tell him again.

She also said technician had left her to go get the husband, so I doubt with MRI machine running that she actually heard anything in regards to what the technician told her husband or allowed.
quote:The technician just talking about the chain in the past doesn’t mean as much as the wife is making it out to look. The technician could have told him not to go in with that chain, and the husband still did it or quit listening to him after hearing his wife call to him. The husband also would have taken off chain on prior visits where he helped her off table in the past.
an object they’d had a casual conversation about during a previous visit with comments like: “Ooooooh, that’s a big chain!”
quote:If true the husband knew and/or was told to take chain off in the past. Why did he ignore what he already knew? It gives some credibility to early reports that he rushed in hearing his wife panicking and ignored the safety protocols he knew and was likely being told again.
Her husband, who she said usually wears a massive 20-pound chain around his neck, normally comes into the MRI room at some point during her appointments to help her get from the table to her feet., she said
The wave goodbye is being dramatized for effect if not completely made up.
quote:
She said the technician helped her try to pull her husband off the machine but it was impossible.
“He waved goodbye to me and then his whole body went limp,” Jones-McAllister told the TV outlet.
Jones-McAllister told News 12 that McAllister suffered heart attacks after he was freed from the MRI machine.
He did not die right then as he was taken to a hospital and passed away the next day.
quote:
The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI…
He died Thursday afternoon…
You can tell she is being advised to counter the initial reporting of going in the room without authorization.
Also, I am sure the large lock didn’t help the situation.

McAllister was wearing a 20-pound chain around his neck with a large lock which he used for weight training.

No, there really isn't. A guy wearing a 20 lb chain walked in, and got attracted to the MRI.
MRI techs don’t let people with a 20lb necklace walk into a MRI room.
When I say there’s more to the story, the guy barged in before he could be stopped or walked in when the tech had their back turned, maybe in the room with the patient.

Almost certainly what happened. However, another poster who works in this area of a hospital has already explained that there are different zones leading into this area and her husband shouldn’t have been allowed into the zone outside the mri room while wearing the chain.

Why wouldn’t the tech turn off the machine before he called in the husband?
SIAP The magnet is always on. Only the imaging parts turn on during a scan.

Weight chains like these.

So, what kind of cheap arse chain did he have around his neck that a magnet pulled him into the machine to kill him. Damn thing had to be as big as a Mr. T starter set.

Correct. Every MRI area I’ve been in has four sections.
1) Outside of the MRI area is a locked door limiting access, with signs saying to remove all metal. The MRI tech meets you there, asks if you have any metal on you.
2) Go through the locked door, there’s a second section. Often this is where patients change clothes, and medical staff empty their pockets. More warning signs about metal.
3) The MRI control room. Outside of the chamber room, this is where the tech and medical staff are. Metal is safe in this area, but there’s still warning signs.
4) The MRI room/chamber. This is where the patient is scanned. No magnetic items are allowed here.
Even with all of that, things get missed. I’ve seen an oxygen tank pulled into a MRI, and a supposed MRI safe ventilator pulled in.
A dude with a 20lb dog chain around his neck? I think he walked in when the tech wasn’t ready.

Absolutely. The question is how was he in the area immediately outside the imaging room to hear his wife screaming while still having that chain on. Even if his dumb arse hadn’t removed it, someone within the outer zones should have stopped him from entering or made his remove it before he got to a room close enough to enter.

Wonder if it was a new employee or do hospitals have different SOP’s? Hospital my sister manages does not allow any non-employee in the MRI room under any circumstances.

It’s always on. The magnet is always live and there’s likely a jillion signs to that effect every 2 feet in the imagine suites

If was wearing a 20lb necklace dude probably deserved to die
