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

        Eh I mean considering how infrequently stupid incidents like this occur, I think using a high quality metal detector wand would be far cheaper, easier to deploy. Even if it takes an extra minute per wanding. It surely would have detected a metal butt plug.
