  • There was on one that I’ve been in, not sure about this one.

    From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn’t stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you’re worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you’re less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think “chain strangling a man” constitutes an emergency though…

    As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I’m not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I’m only in my 30s…

    The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn’t properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I’ve recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

    I’d say it’s about 60/40 on the hospital.


  • Tldr for safety

    To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it’s a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

    With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

    In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

    Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can’t cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

    In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be “I don’t have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies”

    It must be great living with no anxiety or mental issues that would make such interactions not immediately comfortable for the interviewee… If you think they’re fantasizing about a bdsm sex dungeon role play instead… Well that tells me more about you than it does a potential hire.




  • Well yeah, fetuses are the perfect thing to platform.

    They don’t make any demands on you.

    As far as the US government is concerned at least, they don’t require food, water, shelter, or any assistance. It’s all on the mother. Not “the PARENTS”, mind you. The mother.

    Pregnancy complications? Mother’s fault. Never mind that she couldn’t get Healthcare, food, or shelter for herself. Those things are commie-social-Marxism if we just gave them to her.

    And when the fetus pops out as a baby after hopefully 9 months, it’s again on the mother to provide. Never mind that she can’t afford Healthcare for herself or her child, or food, or daycare so she can work to afford those things, or, or, or…

    And if you think otherwise, clearly you are a spawn of Satan and hate America, something something Jesus.
