There is an FDA report on it. There is nothing saying that it is a hoax or that it is fake.
If you're going to claim something is fake then I highly recommend you actually provide sources to back yourself up instead of this weirdly aggressive accusation based off of, seemingly, literally nothing.
It's also just not how MRIs work. The magnet is on before the patient is in the room. They would be injured before the scan. The fda incident is likely heating due to eddy currents in non magnetic metal which is more in line with the injuries people sustain with their rings and shit when not removed. Like why induction stove has magnetic interlocks else wedding ring cuts finger off
So it's just another clickable lie, because of course it is, it's too perfect. I can't fact-check everything and it's a bad use of time if I have to.
I gotta get off of social media entirely, I can work with fiction presented as fiction but it's just an endless firehose of lies from people who think they have a god-given right to lie as much as they need to, on every platform. The AI thing is just getting started. I lost track of reality several months ago, and that's not supposed to be some sort of jokey joke.
you can't prove a negative. How do you prove something didn't happen.
Read your own link, no attached image, no mention of internal hemorrhage, no mention of material. The misinformation post might be inspired by this but that image isn't real.
Last I saw was that the incident is real, but the image and associated text are not real. But can't remember where I read about this.
