I can’t imagine just laying in this machine trying to figure out what terminal illness I have and all the sudden the spirits of the WWE just slams me with a folding chair
thank you, this comment made me laugh while i was freaking out lmao 🥲
happens to the best of us 😮💨
Lol
Thank you
Lmao
So MRI is a big magnet 🧲
Yes, magnetic resonance imaging.
In the name.
I think it's an electro magnet not permanent
Noooooo I thought it was a lego
It can be turned off. Quelched
Why is there a metal lawn chair in an MRI scanning room in the first place?
It doesn’t look like this is in America. Looks like maybe India or some other middle eastern country
It's the daily procedure to ensure it's all working as expected.
@@thanos_chungus9512 you can literally hear someone speak in a perfect American accent in thr background.....
@@tabora_ and he didn’t even answer the question lol he’s acting like indian doctors don’t understand an mri
Probably a decommissioned one, and they were playing with it before they quench it.
The iron in my blood just jiggled a little
I rolling on the floor laughing hysterically bro your hilarious 😂
@Screw Head713 how does that correlate with what they said?
Literally
I know it’s a joke but for anyone wondering it’s not just like random ass iron in ur blood it’s part of a molecule and it’s not magnetic in that molecule
@@jackvelez5532 any person who passed elementary school knows that. No need to explain it.
I got an MRI yesterday and I’m glad I saw this after
Right..
Oof ..
& Hope all is well.
I got an mri a year ago
I've had 2 in the last 3 wk!! Glad I took all my metal off!!!
Read what I wrote if u like pls
A man died here in brazil, when he was carrying a pistol and was accompanying his mother in the mri room. The gun went off on its own and hit him in the abdominal area, he couldn't resist the wound and died days later. He even signed the term saying he didn't carry metal objects. And look, in Brazil there are a really small number of people allowed to concealed carry guns. It's a wake-up call for North Americans, as many out there carry guns.
Americans are smarter than that
@@mattcollins8067 yea sure
@@mattcollins8067 lol funniest thing ive heard today
@@shuttzi9878I mean they are smart enough to have metal detectors everywhere after entering Zone 2
The wake up call is don’t lie and become your own liability.
People with braces
👁👄👁
I had an MRI with braces; I didn't die luckily lmao
@@carriecake_what happened
I don't think braces and metal fillings are affected. My mom had metal fillings in her mouth when she went in and she was fine.
They ask about what type of metal your implants are (or check with your doctor) before proceeding. Idk what braces are made of though
Nah no biggie. Usually not enough metal in there to be of concern and often braces and retainers are made of titanium.
The way it still floated when they pulled it out
"Should we shut it off?"
"Nah I'm enjoying the show"
you cant shut them off it takes hours for it to get back to neutral state , and by the looks of it , seems like they have to use the machine asap
@@fueback6261 it would have to be inspected and recalibrate anyway. So might as well follow protocol. Oh ya know get sued. He'll they posted proof
@@mustangdemon87 it's protocol not to turn them off
Those magnets are on 24/7.
@@Xxsnipedawg72xX Is there atleast an emergancy shutoff incase theres a patient inside when something goes wrong?
I'm gonna have an MRI soon and this just made me think twice yo lol 😂
Oh, you have to answer a manifest of questions before even going back there!
Dw, the magnets only affect metals not your body and no not even strong magnets can move your blood, it works differently
Don't worry I had mine a month ago. It's loud but don't be scared it's just the magnet spinning. And you can press an emergency Ballon if you need to get out for any reason, and they pull you out in no time. My arm with my tattoo ( a new type of ink) got a little bit hot but i didn't press. They later told me when I told them about it that I could have pressed the balloon.
It takes 20 minutes and then your done. The questioning takes longer. I had to take my piercings off and my glasses and brah because of the wire.
I hope you get well ^^
i just had one done this morning, how did yours go 7 months ago?
Are you still alive?
I'm still here lol 🤣 it wasn't that bad to be honest i was just a big baby haha 🤣
Oh! I have always wanted to see what this looks like...thanks for posting!
We waited forever to hear back from my neurosurgeon to confirm the rods in my spine are indeed titanium before doing an MRI
I wonder what would happen if they were magnetic though 😬
bro you would be stuck in the machine 😂
@@Chocolavacakeloco I mean to my spine, would it rip me apart or something? 💀💀
@@RavenIsAnArtist umm like you will be stuck like a magnet and people might have to pull you like the chair in the video I GUESS LMAOOO 😭😭💀💀
@@Chocolavacakeloco So the people would be ripping me apart 😭😭😭💀
@@RavenIsAnArtist Y E S ☠☠
It's like the last patient is a part of WWE
area 51 opening a vortex
Did you realize it was floating at the end 🤔
The chair was like --
"* hold me back Robert * I been waiting my whole life for this" 🪦😭🫱🚬💀
I didn’t know this and forgot to take out my nipple rings.
Ouch
Very small metal items usually isnt an issue (such as piercings)
@@markkopaczewski2072 yeah nothing happened. They’re surgical steel so not magnetic.
@@Crowski techinically even not magnetic metal can turn magnetic in a strong magnetic field ... and we also work with highfrequenz Impulses who can heat up metal and cause slight to major burns
@@hendriktropartz7619 so next time make sure to remove them. I completely forgot I had them 😂
My dad used to work in famous cancer center, and when they would have the chance, or needed to work on MRIs, a few of the facilities guys would tie paperclips or ballpoint pens to cord, and see who could get it the farthest down the tube without getting it stuck to the side. Then it would take 2 or 3 of them to pull the clip off.
Also, they would occasionally get a stupid nurse or tech that would bring a patient in in a metal wheel chair, and it would collapse on them and pull them to the machine, so that would take a few people to pull off and spread to get the patient out. Good times.
LOL
yeah look at the magnetic strenght even in this video the moment the chair is half a meter from that centerpoint..
it's no longer enough to overcome gravity so no one in a wheelchair is getting pulled in from across the room.
now about the paperclip story and needing 2 or 3 to pull it of.
lets make the paperclip double it's average weight, make it out of a very magnetic material en turn in into a sphere..
letst say it's actually at the 5T point of the mri machine:
Fmagnetic≈2.083×10−5N
if you need 2 people to pull that of something is wrong..
@@jeroenvandend I never said "across a room" so your reading/comprehension skills are lacking, and MRI machines have changed alot in the last 2 decades there kiddo. But feel free to go test it out. And when they send you the bill for shutting the machine off and having to restart it you let me know how it goes.
@@boscoalbertbaracus1362 that just leaves the 1 gram paperclip needing 2 people to pull back of..
Tough of war with The invisible man
Guess I know where my lawn chair went. I mean good gracious, it's been two years.
Omg good one 🤣🤣🤣
they even ask if you have tattoos and where they all are because tattoo ink used to have metal compounds like lead in it which reacts to MRIs as well. the nurse i had told me she got an MRI once and her tattoo started burning because the ink contained lead meaning it was starting to react to the machine.
I sincerely hope she was wrong about lead in the ink because that sounds like a health hazard. But also lead isn't ferromagnetic. So it wouldn't react to an MRI machine much like titanium doesn't.
Iron oxide was used in tattoo inks but it's not very common. Most people that get MRs that have tattoos don't have any issues.
When you realize that an electromagnetic cannon is just a bunch of MRI machines taped together
Bro got springtrapped
Had a MRI done as a kid, about 8 or 9 years old. Got one of the worst headaches in memory.
"Is there anything we should know before you go in?"
"Na"
"Alright"
"Actually when do I get a new metal hip repl--"
Almost all implants are titanium or other non-magnetic metals. But fun video
@@mateoc15 as many comments explain, welders by profession have burns from entering these machines, small pieces of iron will heat up or even move. it's a real safety issue for people with metallic injuries.
MRI stands for Muscle Ripping Intelligence
I mean aww shit, you come to the MRI wing and Phil and Andrew are trying to save a chair from a sentient machine that wants to build more of itself.
I hated being in there. I close my eyes and just try to sleep everytime lol
This is why I always get the piercings that won't close if I remove them LMAO
What is that, have a nonmetal plug in there or something, or you just mean the location?
@@onradioactivewaves I place a plastic retainer in instead. Or if it's like a nostril piercing, septum, ears, belly button, I know those can be left out for up to a month.
I got screws and bone plates in my head so when I get an MRI they literally have to pin my head down. It's a very weird feeling
Imagine if someone put a magnet on your head
Watching this just before an MRI scan - deleting all forms of social media at this point🙈
Don't worry I had mine a month ago. It's loud but don't be scared it's just the magnet spinning. And you can press an emergency Ballon if you need to get out for any reason, and they pull you out in no time. My arm with my tattoo ( a new type of ink) got a little bit hot but i didn't press.

It takes 20 minutes and then your done. The questioning takes longer. I had to take my piercings off and my glasses and brah because of the wire. Don't forget to breath calmly and they will tell you when you move to much. Try to stay still. I twitches a little bit in my legs and arms an it was fine.
You got this.
Oh and in my room was nothing except the machine, so I don't now why there was a chair in this one. And even the shelves (plastic but still) shouldn't be there.
I hope you get well ^^
That machine k1lls the patients 👁
I remember the video of the cop's gun bein sucked out of the holster (which is REALLY impressive)
My grandfather had a piece of steel in his eye (he was a welder), no one knew about it until he got an MRI…it was a closed casket funeral.
Wait.. did he actually die from it? I was hearing about that kind of story just before I had a brain MRI this morning and he said it would damage your vision permanently if you had something near your eye, so if your grandfather had a large piece of steel..
@@casedistorted MRIs can acceletate objects that small to the speed of a bullet for reference.
Imagine all pens, metal clips, and other metals I have found there....
I was security at a hospital. Knowing how to shut this off was one of the things they taught me. Also, there are special fire extinguishers placed near them. Can't use a normal one.
Strange how they can make a chair levitate but don’t have any effect on the iron in your blood.
SMH
The person with piercings hearing this:
Someone start the funeral.
First
I have 5 ear piercings and am getting my nose and belly done hopefully I hope I don’t have to get an MRI ever😭
Only have ear piercings but my tech told me to take them off so I assume it's the same for other piercings
Any metallic objects should be removed even if they're non ferrous such as gold or low ferrous such as austenitic stainless steel because they are electrically conductive and can heat up during an MR due to the magnetic field creating an electrical current.
@@xxgoth_galxx7614 You'd be fine. Piecrings are generally made from non magnetic metal. Though they can still burn you so they ask you to take them out.
This is a literal horror movie scene
I thought the metal was floating for a second haha😄😄
Imagine accidentally missing a piercing
Metal detectors galore before you even enter an MRI Zone 2
I have has numerous MRI's with my piercings. Just has to be the right kind of metal. I got over my fear when the MRI dude shoved my head into an MRI machine while his lanyard was flying toward the machine lol.
Luckily the vast majority are made from non magnetic metal.
When I had mine they were aware I had metal in my ankle.
A non magnetic metal
Most commonly, the metal used in surgical reparations is titanium. It's a corrosion resistant metal that is also paramagnetic. If your ankle plate, screws, rod etc. were meant to be removed it was probably made of cobalt-chromium. Cobalt although magnetic by itself, loses its magnetism when alloyed with chromium, which also makes it highly corrosion resistant. These metals are safe for MRIs and have been tested.
@@NotWorthTheAirIBreathe yeah the only danger thats left there is the metal heating up cause of the HF-Impulses
Had a coworker leave his tool belt on and walk into one of these rooms and he 100% thought it was haunted
big ass magnet that never gets turned off
I remember when I was having one of many MRI scans done as a teen, one lady telling me about how at another hospital a person was killed when the machine sucked in a fire extinguisher (that obviously wasn't supposed to be near there!) and it hit the person in the head with such force that it killed them. Definitely not a comforting story before being put into that machine for over an hour! I went in with my aunt when she had an MRI done a few years ago. I had my debit cards, credit cards, and drivers license in my pocket while sitting right next to her the entire scan and it erased the magnetic strips on all of my cards! I didn't even realize what had happened until none of my cards worked lol!
I'm actually a technician who works in a factory that builds these. It's my job to run tests and analysis before shipping. After forgetting I had them in my pocket I've had to replace my cards 3 times and for this reason I haven't carried a wallet in 12 years
@@igottawallet5228 Lol! I hope your card companies were as forgiving as mine were haha! Sounds like an interesting job though!
I swear it was hard for them to understand what I was talking about at first🤣 Magnet?...I always warn the new guys
@@igottawallet5228 Lmao! Yeah, probably not something most people think about- I know I never thought about it until it happened to me haha! I sure wish I had been warned! They just warned me of the typical "no metal" so I never even thought about all the cards in my pocket. I only put them in my pocket because I don't like taking my handbag into hospitals/ medical buildings lol!
The medical company I work for once had an incident of a nurse forgetting to tell a patient to remove his belt. Once he was in position she quickly went over to remove it…the mental buckle shot up hit the machine and recoiled/bounced down and hit the guy in the eye. Guy came out blind from that eye.
I recently broke my leg, they put a metal plate and six screws in to fix it...please remind me to never go near one of those machines again, cus I don't want to know what happens if the magnet starts pulling on my leg
It's probably titanium so I that doesn't happen
@@Yoikumo maybe, but I don't want to find out if it is or not...I can test it out with a small magnet I guess...
US military: can we launch it
Magnets be CRAZY
I had to have x-rays done before my mri because I worked around metal (welding, grinding, etc). To make sure I didn't happen to have any slivers in me (they were especially worried about any in my eyes).
yeah sounds like they worry about metal near the eyes because that's where it can cause permanent damage quite easily.
@@casedistorted Yes even small splinters can destroy an eye in an MRI.
Be careful machinist😂 Someone is not gonna be professional and not ask that question.
god forbid you enter the room with any metal implants.
Oof
Okay but this looks really really cool?
Dolly Pardon was looking for that metal...😂
I've had around 10 of these... I check the room for metal every time. Still get scared though
Those 3T units are no joke. I used to build them.
This would look like magic to people in the early 1900s
What hospital was that so I won’t set foot in that place never ever 😂😂😂😂
Sorry to break it to you, but this happens at all hospitals when the new nurse doesn’t bother to pay attention to the safety orientations
when i was working at the hospital, a patient accidentally entered the mri room on a metal stretcher. He was pulled so hard that his ribs were crushed.
Yup. That and the steel wheelchairs. That happens alot, then the chair is collapsed around them. And I think it takes like better part of a day to restart one of these once you hit the shutdown so they just about never do.
Chair said " ya can't take me away this is my home now"
MRI : Magnetic Resonance Imaging 😶
the warp core gone blow yall
“What do you mean i cant bring my lawn chair into the machine with me”
😳
Magneto was in there!
if u have recent tattoos, I just learned the MRI unit will remove the ink😳
No it won't. Heating potential is the biggest concern. However fresh tats like you mentioned could blur.
Modern tats do nit have metal in them. Older ones did though the concern there is burns.
Just wait untill a person with prison tatoo's hops in one
Prince Albert. 🤣🤫
I worked as a janitor in a hospital when I was young. I also had a tongue piercing when I was young. I learned real quick that when you get close to an MRI machine that you shouldn't have any kind of piercings in your tongue if you want to keep your tongue.
This makes sense now! When I had mine they rattled off every possible metal thing you could have and asked if I had it, they even said “do you have metal rods in your eyes?” Had me hysterical for days idk why because it is a serious thing
'OmG JuSt TuRn It OfF...'
I smell a lawsuit.....🤪🤪🤪
bruh i was scarred for life when i lied about my Jacob's Ladder... literally
How it be when you pull someone back from a fight lol
Lmaoo fighting against magnetic forces 😭
Can you imagine an MRI technician setting up a folding lawn chair in the room. That could be an extreme sport
Fun fact, the magnetic field of a strong Neodymium magnet at the surface is about 1.4T and MRI’s can go up to 3.0T
Had Mri plenty of times. Glad shit like this never happened
If you guys didn't know what electromagnetism is it's basically a magnet but electrical and that's what is happening
Fun fact I was on the table about to go INTO an mri when i noticed my brace's herbst device was magnetic. Love my orthodontist, neglected to tell me it was magnetic after i told them i was getting an mri. MRI operator saved my life. Could have had by jaw ripped out through my face if I was 10 seconds slower.
naw i would sue
I heard one time someone got dead because of a fire extinguisher that got yeeted in there
I get MRIs weekly and that is so crazy.
Magneto. Hold my beer
This happens in certain parts of the world all the time they're still trying to understand how magnets work
Imagine a surgeon dropped a metal piece inside your body during surgery and didnt realize. 😬😬😬
Instruments are counted before and after surgery if done correctly.
They aint called 'super-magnets' for nothing!
That's no magnet. That's a ghost
There was some person squashed by a fire extinguisher once.
All apologies to the nurse that did the MRI on me she had to stop it when I said I might have had metal shards in my eye a long time ago... kind of flipped out on her
I do fire safety for a living and one of the things I do is sell and inspect fire extinguishers. Alot of imaging places want an extinguisher in the mri room and you're supposed to use a non-magnetic extinguisher. Some contractor put a regular one in the room and the first time they turned the machine on the extinguisher flew across the room smashed into the machine and exploded.
time to play musical chairs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣don't forget the mri
Wow, it was floating after they initially pulled it out, for a few seconds.
How the hell does chair get in there 💀
They was fvckin around n found out
I worked on an RFI crew building medical mobile units. They can suck a Volkswagen to it. The forklifts are 4x the size of a regular forklift to place the giant super conducting magnets into the unit.
That fork I ate in middle school finna come back up
That was crazy watching it hover in the exact center of the magnetic field as they were dragging it out
The two dollars in my pocket didn't do anything
Silver?
@@user-uk5bx1kz2kI don't know
I worked in a metal fabrication shop, my pants were always covered in steel dust. I went for an MRI after work not thinking about it. After the MRI my pants were never cleaner. Couldn't have been good for the machine
first step when this happens: hit the emergency shutoff outside the mri room
WRONG. No reason to do that. Have the service guys ramp it down remove the object ramp it up and shim it.
Had an MRI like 2 hrs ago, God the sound
I want to know how the chair got there
holy smokes that's nuts
