TaylorSwift 162,502 Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 A man was critically injured after getting sucked into an MRI machine during an incident on New York's Long Island, according to police. Nassau County police said the 61-year-old man wearing a metallic necklace was pulled off his feet by the magnetic machine when he suddenly entered the exam room. A witness at Nassau Open MRI on Old Country Road in Westbury told police the man defied orders to stay out of the MRI room after he heard the patient, his relative, screaming and got concerned. Doctors and staff at the prestigious North Shore University Hospital explained the dangers of magnetic resonance imaging if protocols are not followed to a T. "The dangers could be catastrophic and it underscores why we have all the safety precautions in place," Dr. Payal Sud said. "If this was a chain that was wrapped around the neck, I could imagine any kind of strangulation injuries that could happen. Asphyxiation, cervical spine injuries," Sud said. MRI machines can be especially dangerous around people with oxygen tanks, in wheelchairs or even wearing magnetic jewelry. Patients must remove all metal and electrical objects before getting scanned, according to North Shore. Still, experts say injuries and deaths tied to MRI machines are rare when magnets pull an object from inside a room. x https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsta217 584 Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 I hope they sue the F out of that hospital and that the hospital doesnt try to shift the blame on him. They should have either let him fully in while making sure he took all his metal stuff off, or not let him close to the room at all. MRI rooms are usually enclosed spaces with a computer room next to it looking in from a window, where doctors control the machine and look at the results as they come in, there was no reason for this guy to be there, SPECIALLY with not enough information about it. Civilians arent supposed to know these things... I could eat a slice of your zombie pie… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkmanthaC 115,047 Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Anytime I’ve been in an MRI machine, I’m pretty sure the door to the room was locked somehow. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
