Woman brought a gun into her MRI appointment, only for it to go off and leave her with a wound in her buttock.

The unnamed woman, 57, brought a concealed handgun into the room with the MRI instrument before it went off, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report.


Metal piercings like earrings should also be removed, and at some facilities, patients are dressed in a hospital gown since metal pieces on clothing are dangerous. It is unclear how the woman managed to get a gun into the examination room.

In March, a nurse in Northern California was crushed by a gurney after bringing the metal object into the MRI room.

This isn’t even the first time this year an MRI-related gunshot accident has happened; in February, a Brazilian man was killed after a handgun he brought into the MRI room discharged and shot him in the abdomen.

According to the FDA report, the patient had been screened for any metal objects and said that she wasn’t carrying anything potentially dangerous into the appointment. The report does not say where this accident happened, including the state or hospital.(FLA)
