How did she sneak it in though? Usually aren't you wearing a hospital gown at this point?

Anyone remember the “anal rail gun” from earlier this year? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mri-butt-plug-injuries/

That movie goes hard for a 12 year old boy looking for something to try and be as cool as the matrix.

Plus all the wonderful, beautiful songs picked for the soundtrack.

Saw a similar case this year here in Brazil, earlier in february. A pro-gun lawyer was accompanying his mother on a MRI. Once the thing started, his gun, a 9mm pistol, was sucked and shot once it got stuck on the MRI, hitting the man in the belly. He died 21 days later.

I'm guessing she was there to get an MRI because there was something wrong with her brain.

Did anyone else read that as "Woman Enters MRI with a Machine Gun" ?

There are one or two entries on the wikipedia list of unusual deaths like that.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hear that's the million dollar wound.

But is the MRI machine OK?

HOW? Also, did she get Darwin award?

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sorry, but Darwin awards are for people who improved the gene pool by removing themselves from it. I know anal is popular, but I don't think that's how you make babies.

Now, she could get an honorable mention for the attempt.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As she just injured herself and did not remove herself from the gene pool, she does not qualify.
