Why would you try to sneak a gun into any medical test area? Even if you didn't know an mri will fuck with a gun, what is the motivation to try to sneak a gun into a medical test room?
A liberal might make her gay when she least expects it!
Holy shit I had a conversation the other day with a dude who said, "democrats just want to touch children and change their genitalia"
He went off about how democrats want to change pedophile name and be more accepting. I told him people don't say that. Only pedophiles do. He went off about how democrats are pedophiles.
He went off about how schools, doctors, and liberal agenda is allowing the mutilation of children's genitalia.
Taking something he says is fact and blowing into the massive majority of all Democrat fundamentals.
ask him what he thinks of circumcion without consent at young age and I bet he will defend that without hesitation
In that situation, the best thing to do is agree with them and then start telling them about how voting is a way for the goverment to track you and/or .. plant .. fucking alien brocolli seeds in your brain or something, so never ever vote
Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards... Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.
Routinely carrying a concealed handgun can create considerable difficulties when a person unexpectedly ends up somewhere they can't do so. Leaving it in a car is a significant risk for theft (and stolen guns get used for bad things). Leaving it with medical staff isn't great. Leaving it unattended outside an exam room presents obvious dangers to anyone who might happen upon it.
It's hard to find yourself in an MRI room without adequate warning that anything magnetic will become a projectile though. I think most places give the patient both written and verbal warnings, and the article here says this patient was warned about metal and specifically about guns.
They literally give you a locker when you go in for an MRI because you have to spend so long naked. This was never a problem for her. She's just stupid.
Is this different in the states? In Germany every time I had to enter one of those I had to put away every single metallic item on me, including piercings and shit. They warn you very thoroughly that you cannot bring metal objects with you because of the high magnetic forces of the machine.
If only there'd been a another, good MRI machine with a gun present.
I read this story as the MRI machine being the good guy and successfully defending itself
I can see the thinking that lead to this. But in my mind, it boils down to one bad decision after other, concealing the firearm because each step forward carries worse consequences. It's basically the clown-makeup meme:
Do we need airport-style backscatter x-rays prior to MRI procedures now? In hindsight, it seems like cheap insurance.
Every MRI I've had they provide a locker for your clothes/belongings. That should've been where this idiot's decision-tree stopped.
Thank you for the hypothetical explanation. I was utterly unable to figure out how something so insane actually happened. This at least makes some sort of sense.
You'd think a metal detector would be mandatory in all MRI departments before you enter?
A bit of trivia: it used to be called NMRI, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. They dropped the N after it became clear people didn't want to go in the machine because they were afraid of radiation. That's why it's called MRI now.
In Chemistry (where it originated) it is still called NMR. There is no image produced, but a spectrum (graph).
Ah, the same kind of people who are worried about phone radiation while spending days roasting on the beach every summer.
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.”
There is no way the MRI wasn't damaged. Other hospital go'ers will be footing that bill. She should be garneshed wages for the rest of her life until those repairs are paid.
"Lucky" would be the bullet being lodged in her body, doing no further damage except to her idiot self so she would learn her lesson without impacting others.
This person took a loaded gun into a hospital, and then into the giant magnet room. Not sure they're capable of learning any kind of lesson.
Maybe next time dont lie to medical staff.
To quote Gregory House, everybody lies.
"IDK how this gun ended up inside my butthole. I must have fallen on it."
Oh no! Is the MRI machine okay? The article doesn't say anything about it.
Lucky it wasn't worse. You can't have any metal on in a huge rotating magnet. Dumb is gonna dumb.
Oh no. ~~A CT scanner is a giant rotating electromagnet~~. An MRI is a giant quantum electromagnetic tube. It’s so, so much worse. It is literally unpredictable as to what might happen with metal inside of it. She’s lucky she wasn’t literally torn to shreds.
With the cost and risks of MRI machines, why aren't there metal detectors at the entrance?
Weird that they didn't have her change into a gown first. Or maybe they did, in which case where did she put-- you know what never mind that's enough internet for today
Pounded in the Butt by My Own Gun
She got off way easier than the metal butt plug guy. This one was just a flesh wound.
Muricans and science don´t mix ...
Gotta be strapped at all times. Liberal doc might give her a covid booster.
Woman Enters MRI Machine With a Gun, Gets Shot in Butt
What's the next line in this lyrics
Woman Enters MRI Machine With a Gun,
(Gets Shot in the Butt)
She been a dumbass since a teen, you know she dat one,
(Face like a mutt)
you're supposed to swap to your attack dog and wooden baseball bat loadout when you enter an MRI room, dipshit
"I knew I couldn't trust that damn MRI!"
Did this happen again, or is it the same one as before?
different case from 10 months ago: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2023/02/12/lawyer-dies-after-shot-by-his-own-concealed-gun-triggered-by-mri-machine/?sh=f55817568ac5
With all of the police at any given hospital, it's interesting that this woman wasn't arrested and charged. Discharging a concealed handgun in a hospital? Just American things!
Also, I love how she lied about having a gun, apparently not understanding that they're about to walk into the most dangerous place on Earth to possess metal. Remember the buttplug MRI story? Like, these damn libruls are going to take my gun away if I tell them about it!
