There was a janitor cleaning the area of the MRI machine a few years ago , at The UPMC, a well know hospital in Pittsburgh . Somehow, he was close to the machine and someone either left it on or he accidently activated it, and it suck him part way into it. He had too much metal on or in his clothes. LOL he was unijured fromm his ordeal but was shaken up very bsd. It was in the news in our area. Yep, leave you metel at ho,ome or make sure you give it to the nurse doing the procedure. I had a DR asked me if I had problems in the machine because I have a staple in one shoulder and a screw and washer in the other, LOL I guess he didn't learn that stainless steel doesn't get pick up with a magnet.
