It’s the sort of injury that will make you suspicious of sex toys for a long time. The internet has caught wind of a resurfaced story involving a young woman who was sent to the hospital after she underwent a MRI scan while having an apparently metallic butt plug inside herself.
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. Though an ambulance did take her to a hospital afterward, the patient’s ultimate fate is unknown.

I was wanded before getting into an MRI.
This article on Gizmodo links to an article from The Sun, and that has a x-ray image from…Reddit that came from Twitter. Until I see the FDA report I’m calling bullshit.
For anyone not knowing what “wanded” is: It’s being checked with a handheld metal detector. You know, the thing that beeps near your belt buckle.

Nah, that’s just my buttplug again.
I thought the staff helped them get off with a magic wand

tbh i think the reddit post and the image are a story someone made up based on the report.
Those are two separate things - at the top is the incident from the FDA report, then they include a similar sounding one that did the rounds online, which is likely bullshit.
I’ve never heard of anyone being wanded - I’ve had a few and taken my Dad to a number and it’s all on you.
I am not going to kink shame(because plugs are hot), but you should feel pretty dumb for wearing a plug of unknown, or known, metallic content in a MAGNETIC Resonance Machine. Maybe don’t even wear one while doing anything abnormal like a medical exam; interviews, do you.
I’ve seen a post about this kinda situation before that claimed the plug in that case had been falsely advertised as 100% silicone
I suspect this might be the same story which went through several rounds of internet retelling
Yeah, it does kinda have that urban myth kinda quality to it
Liz Truss really will do anything to stay in the news, huh?
She had a metallic butt plug at an MRI and that thing didn’t rip through her body out of her? Why does the media even have access to her story? How did they find out this happened, how did they have the legal permission to publicly report it?
It was in a report to the FDA. I presume these are made public (minus identifying information) so other medical professionals can keep an eye out for such oddities.
I think something they do in the medical field is report when things go wrong while keeping patients anonymous. The idea is that you can prevent other people from having the same issue.
Hospitals and companies want to avoid getting sued, so they want to lie, but there are mandatory reports you need to make to the government. Then someone can make a report that says ‘there were 78 injuries from hidden metal in mri machines this year’ and insist on metal detectors beforehand or whatever.
So long as it’s carefully made anonymous, it’s useful public knowledge, so it’s just there as a resource anyone can look at.
There’s no PII in the story.
I mean technically wasn’t she already in the hospital for the MRI?
most mri machines are not at hospitals but privately owned office fronts. i work for a mri company that has about 200 mri machines in office complexes threw out America.
A lot of imaging centers are separate from the hospital.
Aww that’s no fun.
🎶 Well did she ever return, no she never returned
And her fate is still unlearned
She may plug forever the hole beneath her
She’s the lady who never returned 🎶
Charlie on the MTA reference? Well done!
She probably was in the hospital before that for the MRT. I don’t think they have such a machine in normal clinics since its so expensive.
Some Imaging Centers are located separately from hospitals. You have to goto a different location than where you went for MRI if something like this happens.
