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.

    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.
