She told News 12 that the technician summoned into the room her husband, who was wearing a 20-pound chain that he uses for weight training, an object they'd had a casual conversation about during a previous visit.
I'm worried about a dabble of metal from an old filling and this cat barges in with 20 lbs of metal. Strong.

I saw this story earlier and it's obviously a tragic accident. There have been several people accidentally killed by MRI machines over the years in this sort of situation.

But after hearing the details yikes, it's cartoonishly stupid.

don’t work in radiology but all hospital employees receive annual training on safety. One thing they drill into you is that MRI machines dont turn off


There's a quench button that the tech can press that releases the liquid helium. However, it renders the magnet useless so it can be a 3-5 million dollar button press
