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?

      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

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

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

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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.

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

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