Omg “These loud banging sounds are yet another reason why it’s a bad idea to take an MRI scanner into a movie theater.”
Was not expecting this from Forbes!
I don’t understand why people keep going into MRI machines with metal. Don’t they specifically tell you to take off all your metal?
He probably wasn’t allowed to have his gun in the hospital at all, and was worried that if he took it off somebody would notice and take it away.
Wow that’s a new one.
I’ll share a personal experience - once I was fiddling around with a patient’s IV while he was on the MR scanner table. My head came within ~1 foot of the bore of the scanner at some point, and I could feel my glasses getting pulled off my face. Thankfully I snapped my head back and nothing ever came of it.
Respect the strength of the magnet.
When you are so deep into gun culture that you can’t get an MRI without a weapon on you.
The only thing that can stop a bad MRI machine with a gun is a good MRI machine with a gun.
Why don’t hospitals install walk through metal detectors you have to go through to get in the room? Like airports have before you can get to the terminal.
I think metal detectors may still miss small objects and give a false sense of security
Guessing the gun was a glock or something, which has a body that is not metal. So he thought it was safe. Except the firing pin is metal, so that’d be a problem…
“It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn’t show up on your airport X-ray machines here and it costs more than what you make in a month!” - Die Hard
(Every single detail of this quote is wrong btw)
Bullets are likely still metal.
Lead and brass don’t get attracted to magnets. They may get warm from the changing magnetic field though.
They should sue the lawyer. It costs ALOT of money to power down and power back up an MRI machine.
