The woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was being taken out of the machine.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted.

Call me crazy but maybe these MRI clinics should have walk thru metal detectors installed. Schools have them now, why wouldn't they?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 hours ago

Don't they? The few MRI machines I've seen do at the entrance to avoid this shit

Metal detectors aren't ceryycheap but MRI machines are so grossly expensive that the cost of the metal detectors is pennies on the dollar

well people don't always get MRIs when they're at their best, mentally

hope she's all right with no lasting damage

Yeah metallic butt plug when you know you're having an MRI? People are incredibly stupid

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 15 minutes ago

It was a silicone plug, which if I recall was labeled as 100% silicone. But it had a metal core.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Not just metallic, but ferrous. Those silly iron butt plugs.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Personally I think it's kind of stupid to be having a butt plug in all the time anyway.
Call me old, but I just don't get it.

How else are you going to keep the poop in?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is a new article, but a previous incident was they thought it was 100% silicone from the package.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 29 points 8 hours ago

Yeah easy mistake to make then, I always make sure to have my silicone butt plug in on days where I'm going for an MRI for this exact reason.

[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

I am all for kinky shit but if i have something serious like an MRI scan, the last thing i have on my mind is something up my ass 😐

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago

And this is why they ask you those weirdly specific questions, as well as do the metal detector.

Her two braincells must not have been talking to each other that day. That's an easy way to earn a Darwin Award..

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 7 hours ago

At least this time it wasn't a gun.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

They do MRIs outside hospitals?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 21 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.

There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Wow. Raid a doctor's office looking for weed, kill a machine worth more than your life, and then leave your ammo. What a cop.

[–] galaskorz@discuss.online 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve never had an MRI in a hospital.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I've never had an MRI. I want to, though. I love MRI machines.

[–] galaskorz@discuss.online 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It’s boring and loud and often expensive (in the US)

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Maybe if you're not into machinery, but I wanna be in that tube.

[–] bahbah23@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Sometimes I feel like a real hillbilly

Pulled out of the wrong end.
