    Watching them do the chair was… terrifying… Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

    I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like “Nah, you’re fine.” I was like “Okay, just please don’t steal my teeth 😬”

      Yeah, I had a MRI yesterday and the eerie Transformers sounds it made at me made me look up videos afterwards.

      There were a LOT of signs about not having anything metal on you (not even makeup with metal glitter or whatever)–but this video really makes it hit home. It would definitely steal your teeth right out of your mouth if they had metal attached to them! (And probably kill you in the process.)

        Oh yeah…the sounds were something else lol. The technicians gave me earplugs for mine. It is quite a loud procedure strangely enough. The one benefit was that I was able to request the imagery they took on a disc afterwards and then I was able to 3d print my brain from the imagery!

          That’s super cool. Mine was for an old knee injury, not nearly as exciting as a brain scan!

          I kinda hope I am able to get a brain scan someday. I mean, except for the part where your head goes in that machine, lol. I’m not normally claustrophobic…but those sounds are so friggin weird.
