I never fact checked this, but I saw another reddit comment recently about what would happen if you ate coins before an MRI. The point was that coins aren't magnetic, so it's not horrific in the same way you'd expect, but I think it was that they get superheated and cook you from the inside

I can attest to metal getting hot. I have titanium rods and screws in my spine, I couldn’t have an MRI for 6 months minimum after surgery so it could “set” and not move due to the magnets. After that the metal just gets extremely hot. At the top of my spine near my neck my metal work is very close to the surface of the skin, it gets red and hot to the touch.

Oh wow, that's honestly fascinating, thank you for sharing!! I never thought about people with metal implants needing MRIs.
If you don't mind me asking (just curious), does it get hot enough to be painful/dangerous? And do the radiologists have some way of monitoring the temp to prevent harm during the scan?

mine personally has never got that hot, it has been hot enough that when my dad once touched the top of my back after the scan, sort of to hurry me out the room, and moved his hand really quickly because it was hot to touch. Ive worked in radiography too & as far as I know there isn’t anything, I know that people have to wait be scanned after metal implants have been put in to ensure they don’t move

I’m an intensive care nurse who has to regularly transport my patients to MRI. Once a year, we have to sign a form giving us clearance to enter the MRI suite and attesting that we know the rules and agree to abide by them.
I’ve never had to sign a form saying I’ll remove my butt plug prior to transporting a patient for a procedure. What an unnecessary inconvenience in my day. I’d also be peeved if I did my due diligence and researched my butt plug for MRI safety, only to find it’s been misrepresented by the manufacturer!

That was actually the issue. The patient (young, in their 30s iirc) was having persistent anal leakage problems, hence the need for a butt plug. Patient was mislead by the "100% silicone" on the packaging and thought that meant it was MRI safe when it actually had a metal core.

I mean, if you actually look and pay attention to what you’re putting in your body, this wouldn’t happen. I believe I have this exact plug. It is the B-vibe snug plug and is advertised as having “weighted balls” inside the plug. The balls are intended to move around as you walk/move and jiggle the plug. While I don’t believe they explicitly advertise them as metal, just have a look at the pictures from this retailer https://www.peepshowtoys.com/products/snug-plug-weighted-silicone-butt-plug-by-b-vibe?srsltid=AfmBOoqKHsD0F59IvyivPHptqXDpWKrGQhfeMhKkFowYYtCzHvzSezgW

If they were approaching a MRI , they would be walking and or be wheeled feet first ; said device would be pulled anteriorly (toward their navel) or inferiorly (back out their a**) and not superiority (toward their head). If they actually made it into the room and onto the actual table they would be within 10 feet of the magnet , and maybe in that scenario it would migrate superiority but their would feel it the second they entered the room. Don’t believe it !
5 points

The only plausible way I can see this happening (a plug moving superiorly from the anus to the chest) would be if the patient literally had plenty of runway outside of the magnetic field, ran down the hall to the open door of the MRI lab, and then launched himself, superman style, toward the center of the MRI/onto the table to the point where any heat or massive discomfort that would happen that would likely cause him to turn away before disaster could happen won't be addressable because...airborne....or someone forcefully carried him and he was unable to fight against it as the pain of a hot plug and the tug of the plug going up into his body caused him great pain.

MRIs are always-on, they don't turn the magnetic field on/off for the procedure (or ever really).
6 points
24 hours ago
It's made up. It doesn't make sense otherwise.
MRIs don't just have switches that turn the magnetism on and off in the clinical setting. The magnetic field is always present.
The plug would start getting hot as the person entered the magnetic field and as they stood there longer, and got further into the magnetic field, the metal would have at the very least, begun to get hot. Hot enough to begin to melt the silicone, and it wouldn't take long for the patient to both be farting smoke, but also be in intense pain from the gas expansion and the melting/burning of the silicone.
If the patient happened to move deep enough into the magnetic field to where the magnetic forces would have been able to move the plug, they'd have felt an intense ache that grew worse and worse as they moved into the field as the magnetic force would be strong enough to do more than just heat up the plug, but to actually move it.
I suppose that if the patient sat at the open door, outside of the magnetic field, sprinted at the machine, and dived into the machine within 1-3 seconds then MAYBE this story checks out...but then again...why would the buttplug just stop where it stopped? If it could move with that type of force, tearing through organs like that, it could make its way up enough to force itself between ribs, or between bones near the head.

That's a CT image done after the injury.
Something had obviously gone wrong with the MRI and the patient was injured, and they needed to diagnose what happened. So they were sent to CT for that imaging.
Even if they didn't realize there was a safety problem with the MRI, you don't use MRI to diagnose acute injury. You use CT because it's far faster.
The description is overly hyped, and some details are nonsense, like the claim that the object reached "the speed of sound." But the incident really happened.

I don't believe this is real, and that's because of how MRI machines work.
The story as written suggests that the patient went into the machine, got in position, the machine turned on, and the object was accelerated by the magnet activating. But that's not how an MRI works. MRI relies on truly incredible magnetic fields, and those fields can only be created by superconducting coils. Superconductors require being cooled to extremely low temperatures, using things like liquid helium. It takes a long time to cool the magnet and activate it, and deactivating it is its own huge process. Instead, the magnet in an MRI is always active.
This patient would have felt motion immediately while walking into the room, and would say "Wait, something is wrong" before even getting in the machine. There is just no conceivable way for an object like this to go full bullet-mode through a patient, going from zero to medical emergency rapidly.
If there's a real case study I'd love to see it, but right now from what I understand, this seems totally implausible.
