I had an MRI in 1991 after I blew out my knee playing hoops. I don’t remember any office furniture flying through the air but, according to the NYTimes, there’s an epidemic of accidents caused by the strong magnets in the equipment.
The story sounds fine, but the pictures they posted with it (courtesy of Dr. Moriel NessAvier, who has a website on MRI safety) make me think it’s a hoax.
As the official VM fiancee put it, “Mr. Smith, I’ve found the problem. You seem to have an office chair wedged between your ass cheeks.”
Dr. NessAvier has more pix of flying stuff!
