Woman Enters MRI With Butt Plug, Ends Up In Hospital

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.
Yeah metallic butt plug when you know you're having an MRI? People are incredibly stupid
Call me crazy but maybe these MRI clinics should have walk thru metal detectors installed. Schools have them now, why wouldn't they?
Metal detectors? Are you serious? It's not like people are carrying guns in there. Oh wait...
This is a new article, but a previous incident was they thought it was 100% silicone from the package.
Yeah easy mistake to make then, I always make sure to have my silicone butt plug in on days where I'm going for an MRI for this exact reason.
well people don't always get MRIs when they're at their best, mentally
hope she's all right with no lasting damage
I am all for kinky shit but if i have something serious like an MRI scan, the last thing i have on my mind is something up my ass 😐
There is a reason why the request "remove all metal items you may have on you" is done before starting the exam.
I've seen people with old teeth fillings being rejected because the machine can pull it straight out of your mouth.

Yikes! So, like, what if an MRI is medically necessary for those people? Do they have to schedule a dental appointment first to remove/replace those fillings? Genuinely curious now that you've mentioned that because fillings were not something I ever thought about with regard to MRI safety.
Remember those black filling pastes dentists used to use? Some had metal in it. Modern ones are safe, as those materials were phased out, deemed unsafe. Most stable countries have done this but in some parts of the world it is still possible to have those older fillings in use.
And, yes, I've seen people strongly avised to have their cavities reviewed before undergoing MRI exams. The metalic filling are, according to what I was explained, dangerous by two different reasons: the filling can be physically pulled from the teeth, causing severe trauma, but the metal can heat up inside the mouth and cause severe burns.
They do MRIs outside hospitals?
Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.
There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.
There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma
Sometimes I feel like a real hillbilly
I had one in a mall yesterday! It was scheduled by my doctor 4 years ago and I guess it was finally my turn. I was sent to a private one on the government's dime because I didn't have to pay anything, probably because the backlog is so long. Quebec's healthcare system is not doing great.
That sounds like a very USA statement. Except for the part about receiving free healthcare. An MRI in a mall is very funny to me for some reason.
And this is why they ask you those weirdly specific questions, as well as do the metal detector.
Does it just become really hot or?
Depends on the metal that was inside. If it is ferromagnetic then you get fucked. If not, it is something like brass and you have your own private multi kilowatt heater.
Think it woud be assfucked in this case
Serious question: are butt plugs ever prescribed to elderly folks with incontinence?
I'd much rather wear a butt plug then a diaper.
No you don't. Prolonged dilation damages your sphincter and makes the problem significantly worse. And since that's the same muscle that also controls you peeing, you'll get urinary incontinence too. Overall a bad idea. For these reasons you should never use a plug for long (less than 2 hours) and not too often. There are kegel exercises that help prevent damages that should be done when doing anything anal in general
Eww. Single-use anal plugs
Did Mythbusters lie to us?
