What Im wondering is why/how would they do this. It must have been a pre-demolition situation.

That's my assumption as well. But basically it just seems like a room full of dudes, and we all know how much we love to do stupid shite like this.

As is the types of metal used in surgical proceedures (screws, plates etc).

I had an emergency MRI a while back and those dumbasses didn't empty my pockets which contained keys and a pocket knife. Fortunately stainless steel and brass is non-magnetic.



The construction of the room is a PITA also. Most manufacturers specify no magnetic material in the walls/floor and a shielding material (often copper) lining the room. So it's wood studs, wood subfloor, plastic conduit, aluminum electrical boxes, copper drywall screws, copper shielding, etc.

I know a kid from high school that had one (not a kid anymore) He had had reconstructive ankle surgery. The machine ripped his ankle apart, and he sued the shite of the hospital.
