Woman Shot In Butt After Sliding Into MRI Machine With Loaded Firearm

This never would have happened with a Glock, because CNN told me they're made completely of plastic.

Woman shot in butt after sliding into MRI machine with loaded firearm

Who said being confined in a loud, claustrophobic metal tube couldn’t be a blast?

"It is unclear how the woman was able to bring a weapon into the MRI room."

Sounds like it was in her prison wallet

Could you just imagine the pain of her gun being ripped from her womb?

This is why you don’t carry a .380.

“…physician at the site who described the entry and exit holes as very small and superficial, only penetrating subcutaneous tissue.”

If it was a 9mm it would have blown her ass right out of the body.

Just had my first morning at 730 this morning..
Been trying to get an MRI toe to thigh for over a year.. I get a call that they wanna MRI my brain. I get down there and ask him exactly what they’re looking for and it has to do with my ears not being in here and leaking shit. I get my results at 7 PM, which is shockingly fast. All she said is “everything is completely normal you don’t have a tumor”

I’ve got to get a new doctor I was supposed to go see an ear, nose and throat specialist, and now they’re checking me for tumors that was never even discussed.

Yes, I am happy that’s good news. But it doesn’t do a f***ing thing to help my situation.

I gotta stop going there I’ve gone there 1000 times this year were various things. The only thing that helped was the physical therapy and antibiotics for this infection I had all over my face and head.


Basically, no more primary care I’m just going to the f***ing ER

Lahhk Forrrust Guhhhmp, she gohht shohht in the buttoohx.

I had an MRI eons ago. Damn. The list of things that you MIGHT have on or in you was vast. Sounds like the techs didn't do their job.

 

[GL2020]

Jeeze anytime I’ve had an MRI they’ve made me strip down to my boxers, put a Jonny on, walk by a metal detector and run a portable wand up one side and down the other.

Wondering how the heck she managed that.

 

[LuvDog]

At least she carried with one in the chamber. More than some people here do

 

[paul73]

so what are the physics that can lead to a discharge of the firearm from a mere magnetic interference?
i am not quite getting it.

 

[M1911]

I’ve had several mri scans this year. If I wasn’t already inpatient, they made me change into hospital provided pants and johnny and then they wanded me.

Does anyone understand this post? I may need a brain MRI after reading it.

 

[RumRunner]

I've had a couple MRIs, for abdominal they made me put on hospital clothes, but for knee or shoulder they don't as long as your clothes don't have metal in them. And never been wanded, just answer the questions about metal stuff.

 

[nstassel]

Never get caught lackin'.

Thank god, I thought it was just me

There are over 8 billion people on this planet now.

Somewhere someone is going to do something really stupid every day...I guarantee it.

Really?

I've never had to do that with any of mine

They were just like take out your keys wallet etc etc or bad shit is gunna happen

I didnt even get detected

Did that hopped on up

Now that being said guns are not small items not easy to forget when your stripping the rest of your metals

What's the current rate per 100k people?? Asking for a friend.

There are over 500 elected politicians in DC, at least one will do something stupid every day.

They ask specifically if you have any metal on you before you get an MRI!

I guess they need to update that to on and/or in you

 

[appraiser]

I have so much metal holding my left side together I'll never be able to get near a MRI scanner

I've been X rayed while carrying

 

[cookiecutter]

i am not quite getting it.

I would imagine that the very strong magnetic field caused the steel sear to move and that released the striker or hammer.

She wouldn't have been shot if the hospital mall cop wanded people as they walked in the entrance. Hospitals are gun free zones just like airport terminals, right? So why no checkpoints and mmwave scans?

 

[PATRON]

Boy, what a pain in the ass that must have been.

 

[Sauer Grapes]

I would imagine that the very strong magnetic field caused the steel sear to move and that released the striker or hammer.

The magnetic field of a 1.5 Tesla MRI is 30,000 x the strength of the Earth’s magnetic force.

Hospitals are not gun free zones, unless physically part of a medical school. Signage is not binding in MA.

 

[Lucus]

I guess if the medical field is this lackadaisical you better get a second opinion....!!

I was thinking the same thing as well. I used to work in an MRI environment and the technician would always use a portable wand to scan the subjects clothing and then they would stand next to a wall with sensor strips that would further indicate metallic material. The process was always very thorough in order to prevent anything like this from happening.

so what are the physics that can lead to a discharge of the firearm from a mere magnetic interference?
i am not quite getting it.

The entire environment has a magnetic field induced within so any metallic object would tend towards the magnetic center at speed relative to mass. For reference: Earth's magnetic field is between 25,000 – 65,000 nT, while the magnetic field in the MRI environment is 1.5 – 3.0 T. The magnetic field of the MRI is around 40000-60000 times greater than earth's magnetic field. Anything largely magnetic would be depressed, warped, and contorted greatly by the force of the impact and could potentially cause the trigger mechanism to actuate.

so what?
what did strike the primer and why?

you cannot 'cause the trigger mechanism' to do anything with the engaged safety.

They do ask if you have any metal in, asking about replacement joints, implants, etc.
