The woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was being taken out of the machine.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted.

They do MRIs outside hospitals?

Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.

There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.

Wow. Raid a doctor's office looking for weed, kill a machine worth more than your life, and then leave your ammo. What a cop.

There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma

Sometimes I feel like a real hillbilly

I’ve never had an MRI in a hospital.

I've never had an MRI. I want to, though. I love MRI machines.

It’s boring and loud and often expensive (in the US)

Maybe if you're not into machinery, but I wanna be in that tube.
